Supplies For This Recipe

• Microwave-safe bowl
• Mixing bowl
• 8×8 baking pan
• Non-stick cooking spray
• Foil or parchment paper

Fudge Ingredients

• 1 cup of unsalted butter
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 cups of powdered sugar

Fudge Directions

1. First, you will need to find an 8×8 or similar-sized pan. We will be using this pan to make the fudge. Cover it with foil or parchment.

2. Before doing anything else, spray some non-stick spray on the pan lightly. Now, set the pan aside for later use. 

3. Pick out a microwave-safe bowl. Put the peanut butter and butter in the bowl and heat it for one minute. Then, stir the mixture well.

You can heat it again for 30 seconds and mix until the mixture is smooth. Make sure to spend some time on this because this is one of the most crucial parts of the process.

4. For the next step, pour the butter mixture into the bowl for your stand mixer. Now it’s time to add the powdered sugar to the mix.

5. You can use the paddle attachment on the stand mixer to mix the fudge. Use it on low speed until the mixture is thoroughly combined. 

6. Once the fudge is ready, bring out the pan we prepared before and pour the fudge in it. Make sure to press into the bottom so it is an even layer. 

7. Now, there are two ways to allow the peanut butter fudge to set – If you have a fridge, you can put it there for two hours. Otherwise, put it at room temperature for 4 hours at least to let the fudge set. 

8. That’s all you have to do to prepare delicious peanut butter fudge. Chill it for two hours and then store it as you want, either at room temperature or in the fridge. Now, have a piece whenever you crave something sweet, or slice and serve to guests. 

Conclusion

Following this recipe will only take you 5-10 minutes to prepare a fantastic peanut butter fudge batch. You will then need to chill it for about 2 hours and s. You don’t need anyone’s help or complicated tools to make this three-ingredient peanut butter fudge.
