It was some of the best peanut butter fudge I’ve ever made. The taste was amazing. My family absolutely loved it. It’ll be made again. We love it!!

I made this for the 4th I doubled it and it was perfect 🙂

I make this all the time. It’s fast easy and everyone loves it. The only thing I do differently is I put one cup of peanut butter for that peanut butter taste. If your looking for a good one here it is. I have been using this recipe since about 2014.
Robert Mata
Absolutely fabulous
Samuel Cummings
Delicious. I used cream instead of milk and I put in 1 cup of peanut butter instead of 3/4.
Heather Johnson
I have used this recipe many times and absolutely love it. The only thing I do different is I use 1/2 more crunchy peanut butter and a teaspoon of scorpion hott sauce. The hott fudge is a crazy hit at work and everyone wants me to make it at least once a month… Thumbs up !!

This recipe would just not mix. After I had added the granulated sugar it stayed in the form of little tiny balls that simply would not cream! I wasted ingredients on this and would not recommend. I never got to try it.
Brandon Williams
I love this fudge! The powdered sugar makes it so much creamier, not gritty like most recipes that call for granulated sugar. I tell people it’s my grandmother’s recipe! ( lol)
Adam Mitchell
Works great with cannabutter!!! Love this recipe! Fast/easy/delicious
Nicole Schultz
It easy to make the only thing it did not say when to add peanut butter it looks good just waiting to cool which is a bummer when you are new at baking!.
Mr. Joseph Hayes
Very easy to make and my fiancé loves it!

It’s okay if you only take a couple bites but man it is too sweet with little peanut butter taste. Tried the recipe as described not as people on here are altering it. I think people should review these recipes as they are not as they altered it. I think they should just post the altered recipe. I do think the sugar needs cut back and more peanut butter added.

I’ve made this for 4 years now, and it’s so easy. Consistently yummy peanut butter fudge (my favorite flavor.) I do add more peanut butter, more like a cup – the recipe is very forgiving!
Leslie Torres
Oh my! I’m all about some sweet fudge, but this is excruciatingly sweet. I figured it would be after reading the recipe so I added salty, toasted, crushed peanuts to contrast a bit and cut back on the confectioners sugar by a cup but it made no difference. I don’t usually comment on recipes but would like to save you some time and money. My family will eat just about anything sweet but they won’t eat this. Save the calories for something yummy.

SO easy and delicious.

I made this yesterday, I’m not sure what I did wrong. I did everything exactly as instructed. I let it sit in the fridge for over an hour. When I tried to cut it, it was super hard, couldn’t even bit into it. I’m going to try again today, and shorten some of the ingredients.

My mom loves fudge and This is a very simple recipe and quick as well. The only things I did differently was added a half cup more peanut butter and I sifted the conf. sugar before adding the hot mixture. The extra peanut butter evened out the taste from the confectioner’s sugar because it made it more peanut buttery tasting. I also used the traditional drop a tiny spoonful in cold water until it balled up method. If yours did not set firm and stayed gooey you did not cook it enough, if it was too hard and crumbly you cooked it too much..
Danielle Armstrong
Good, hard to stir
Mia Martinez
I just made it but I used organic powdered sweetener. I tasted the batter after it was all mixed and noticed it did not have much of that peanut butter taste so I melted Some chunky peanut butter and poured it over the top and swirled it through the mix to insure the flavor! But did not thicken up well maybe because of the powdered sweetener ‍♀️
