Categories     dessert

Time 2h14m

Yield 64 (1-inch) pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pan
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the butter and peanut butter in a 4-quart microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 2 minutes on high. Stir and microwave on high for 2 more minutes. (Use caution when removing this mixture from the microwave, it will be very hot.) Add the vanilla and powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and stir to combine with a wooden spoon. The mixture will become hard to stir and lose its sheen. Spread into a buttered 8 by 8-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Fold the excess parchment paper so it covers the surface of the fudge and refrigerate until cool, about 2 hours. Cut into 1-inch pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup creamy natural peanut butter (I use Wild Friends)

  • Line a 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth. Pour the fudge into the pan and tap the pan on the counter before putting in the freezer. Freeze for 10 minutes, then sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups on top of the fudge and press them in a bit if necessary. Sprinkle with a little Maldon sea salt. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes-1 hour.
  • Once fudge is firm you can cut into 15 squares. Sometimes you have to wait a few minutes before cutting into. Store fudge in a freezer safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

EASY PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE



Easy Peanut Butter Fudge image

A simple peanut butter fudge. No thermometers needed, just a timer. The original recipe called for 2 cups of light brown sugar; I didn't have any, so I used part dark brown and part white. Do NOT try to use "natural," "organic," unsweetened or salt-free peanut butter for this, it will fail. If you like sweet-salty things (as I do), use salted peanuts on top; if you don't, unsalted will work fine. Adapted from CHOW - http://bit.ly/19a9OLj

Time 20m

Yield 64 1-inch squares, 64 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons butter, plus more for greasing the pan (1/2 stick)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar or 1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Cut a 22" piece of parchment paper. Fold the long sides of the sheet in to make an 8" wide strip. Butter an 8"x8" square dish. Place the parchment paper into the dish with the folds underneath, creasing the corners well to make a clean edge. Butter the parchment lightly and set aside.
  • Melt 4 tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When fully melted, add vanilla, brown sugar, white sugar and cream. Stir well. Bring to a full rolling boil. Once it boils, stir constantly for exactly two minutes (use a timer). Add the peanut butter and stir until melted and completely smooth. Remove from heat and let cool exactly 5 minutes (use a timer). It will form a skin; that's okay.
  • Scrape the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Start on medium-low (speed 2), and add the pre-sifted powdered sugar one large spoonful at a time. When it is all incorporated, the fudge should look slightly curdled.
  • Turn the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle chopped peanuts evenly over the top. Fold over the ends of the parchment, then use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to press the peanuts into the fudge and form a layer of even thickness. Unfold the parchment and let cool to room temperature, at least 2 hours.
  • When cool, lift the ends of the parchment straight up to remove the fudge from the pan. Using a long knife, cut the fudge into 64 pieces (8 slices one way, then 8 the other way). Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For best flavor, return to room temperature before eating.
