Easy Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe
This microwave peanut butter fudge is the ultimate shortcut dessert. Made with just peanut butter and frosting, it sets up in the fridge with no baking or candy thermometer required.
Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) jar creamy peanut butter Jif or Skippy recommended (Do not use natural)
- 1 (16-ounce) tub vanilla frosting
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and frosting.
- Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir.
- Microwave again for 15 to 30 seconds until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until firm.
- Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper, then slice it into squares.
Notes
- Be sure to use shelf-stable peanut butter. Natural peanut butter will affect the texture.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Keep parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving for the best texture.
- This fudge can sit out at room temperature for a few hours, but it softens quickly. Refrigeration is best if you want clean slices or plan to store it longer.
