This recipe delivers rich, creamy peanut butter fudge that melts in your mouth. It uses simple ingredients for a quick, no-bake treat perfect for gifting or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for greasing pan)

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with melted butter or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Brush the parchment paper lightly with more melted butter.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter. Microwave on high for 60 seconds.
  3. Stir the milk and peanut butter mixture until completely smooth. If necessary, microwave for another 15-30 seconds until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is thick and uniform. You may need to switch to a sturdy spoon or use your hands toward the end.
  6. Press the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared 8×8 inch pan. Use a spatula or wax paper to press it down firmly.
  7. Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  8. Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into small squares.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, use high-quality peanut butter.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer fudge, add 1/2 cup of melted chocolate chips to the mixture before adding the powdered sugar.
  • This fudge stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerated for up to two weeks.
