Peanut Butter Fudge
Description
Peanut Butter Fudge is made by melting creamy peanut butter and butter together until smooth, then mixing in confectioners' sugar gradually to create a thick, consistent batter. Heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a small amount of salt provide balance and a smooth finish. After lining a pan, the mixture is poured in and chilled until firm. The final product is a rich, sweet fudge with the characteristic flavor of peanut butter, offering a dense texture that holds its shape when cut.
This fudge is ideal to serve in small squares alongside coffee or tea, or to include in dessert trays during gatherings. Its sweetness and creamy texture appeal to fans of peanut butter confections and homemade candies.
The fudge should be stored in an airtight container. It keeps at room temperature for about a week, in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, and may be frozen for up to three months, retaining its texture and flavor well during storage.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups peanut butter creamy
- 12 tablespoons butter
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add the peanut butter and butter to a large mixing bowl and place in the microwave. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, until melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Using an electric mixer, beat in the powdered sugar one cup at a time, until smooth.
- Beat in the cream, vanilla, and salt.
- Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or foil, leaving the edges hanging out of the pan to make it easy to remove the fudge later.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and refrigerate for 2 hours or until set.
- Lift the fudge from the pan and cut into 1-inch squares.
- Store in an air-tight container.
Notes
- Store peanut butter fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
