This is a wonderful recipe and so easy. I have made Peanut butter fudge from other recipes before, but never again! I will always use this recipe.
Super easy and delicious ❤️
So easy try adding the miniature M&Ms to it or miniature smarties
I just made it and now it’s chilling in the refrigerator. Haven’t had a chance to eat a piece yet,but I did eat some off the spoon. Let me just say,it is going to be delicious. Very easy to make. I also think you could add a little more peanut butter than what it calls for.
I made it with Duncan Hines keto vanilla frosting, and chunky natural peanut butter, just peanuts and salt, no oils. And it tastes store bought from a fudge shop.
As someone else mentioned, this really does taste like the inside of a Reese’s peanut butter cup! It really couldn’t get any easier. Would make a great recipe for kids to help with. I put some in the freezer to keep for later and they are SO good right out of the freezer! The best part is, this isn’t sickly sweet like a lot of fudge can be.
So easy! And everyone loved it! I used home made crunchy peanut butter. Delish!
Super easy and delicious.
I have tried and failed making peanut butter fudge in the past- but I tried this very easy recipe and vio’la- success!! Thanks
Cans of Chocolate frosting come in 16oz not 12oz. Math adjustments needed, otherwise EASY.
It’s so good
Love it, also made the chocolate fudge as well. So simple yet so tastie…
I used natural peanut butter ( nothing added, just peanuts) as that’s all I buy. It didn’t get hard so I frozen it. I also added peanuts to cut down on the sweetness. Good peanut flavour and with the natural peanut butter, not too sweet. May try with chocolate frosting next.
I wonder if you dice up dried cranberries and add them how good it would be
I like that this recipe is very easy and fast. I just wish it was a little bit more sweeten and less peanut butter tasting. I feel like its just like eating peanut butter out of the jar.
Made this with the Grandsons on Saturday. So easy. I used whipped frosting (next time I’m going to try the cream cheese frosting). Fudge needs to be chilled….tastes better that way.
Freaky good. Crazy how easy it was to make delicious, smooth fudge that set up perfectly. And doesn’t dry out! Day 4 on the counter and it is still great! Im going to try peanut butter with chocolate frosting next. Thank you!!!!
So easy and so good!! Sent some to my grandchildren in Florida. Hubby asked for more!
Really tasty and SO EASY! I added about 3/4 cup of milk chocolate chips just because Peanut Butter and chocolate go together but you can’t really taste it. So you either need to add A LOT of chocolate chips or leave them out. Either way this is an easy, cheap, and tasty treat
Omg this is the best peanut butter fudge i have ever had!! Super easy to make! Didnt change anything, but i did sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Inexpensive compared to regular fudge
I used one 28-oz jar of Jif peanut butter and split it between a can of cream cheese frosting and a can of chocolate fudge frosting. I didn’t use the whipped version for either, but both batches turned out beautifully. My whole family loved them! I love fudge but frequently don’t get it right with regular recipes. This is going to be my go-to from now on. Delicious!
