Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chocolate-Peanut Butter Fudge image

This recipe is so easy to make. The fudge turns out smooth and rich. Just remember to move quickly once the mixture has been microwaved, or your fudge will be difficult to turn out into the pan. I have used this recipe as a base to create many variations of fudge simply by omitting and substituting ingredients. Any way it's made, it's yummy!

Time 13m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter, softened
3 2/3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 cup butter (one whole stick, solid)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • With two tablespoons of softened butter (not melted), use clean bare hands to grease a 9-inch x 13-inch glass cake pan. Make sure to completely and evenly coat the pan.
  • Place the following ingredients in an extra large microwavable glass mixing bowl in the order listed: powdered sugar, butter, cocoa, peanut butter and milk. Do not toss or mix. (Note: It is important to ensure there are no clumps in the powdered sugar, as you do not want unsightly white clumps throughout your smooth fudge.).

  • Remove from microwave with oven mits and add vanilla.
  • With a hand-held mixer, beat at medium-high speed until smooth.
  • If desired, stir in walnuts.

  • Chill for 1 hour or until solid.
  • Cut into squares.
  • Store refrigerated for up to two weeks (that is if it makes it that long!).
  • VARIATIONS: Peanut Butter Fudge--omit cocoa powder, compensate for lack of dry ingredient with 2 tbs. extra powdered sugar and cook as directed. Chocolate Fudge--omit peanut butter, compensate for lack of moist ingredient with 2 extra tbs. butter and cook as directed.

This is a recipe from JIF. I had it on hand, but assume any creamy PB would do. This stuff is heavenly! I have always been a complete failure at fudge. This recipe, because it simmers for 5 minutes is a cinch! Add food coloring for the holidays for an extra special treat!

GRANDMA'S CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE



Grandma's Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge image

This old-fashioned style of peanut butter fudge is not that easy to find out there. The ones I tend to run across always seem to be the soft, creamy version, which is not what I'm into. If it's going to feel like peanut butter in my mouth, then what's the point? No, I want something that feels dense and firm in my fingers but will almost instantly liquefy in when it hits my tongue.

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound powdered sugar
1 ¼ cups unsalted butter
1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Sift sugar through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl.

  • Spread mixture into an 8x8-inch baking pan lined with plastic wrap. Wrap fully and refrigerate until firm enough to cut but not too hard, 1 to 3 hours.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor. A natural, unsweetened peanut butter is a great option.
  • Make sure the butter and sugar are at room temperature before you start. This will help them to cream together smoothly.
  • Don't overcook the fudge. It should be cooked until it reaches a soft-ball stage, which is about 235°F (113°C).
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help it to set properly.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This peanut butter fudge is an easy and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich peanut butter flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give this peanut butter fudge a try. You won't be disappointed!
