Yep, with just four ingredients, you can make Peanut Butter Fudge in your kitchen instead of going out and buying it from a store! It will taste even better and be way fresher when you’re making it from scratch. I also like to add peanut butter chips to make the recipe even more delicious from time to time. The peanut butter flavor in this fudge is immaculate.
How to adjust the powdered sugar if not using natural peanut butter
If using regular peanut butter then use less powdered sugar. About 3 1/2 cups per one cup butter ratio.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Melt peanut butter and butter over medium heat.
Step 2: Add in powdered sugar.
Step 3: Stir until thickened and smooth.
Step 4: Press mixed peanut butter fudge into greased pan.
Step 5: Refrigerate for about 2 hours or until set. Cut into squares and enjoy!
