5 INGREDIENT PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE

December 1, 2020

a twist on traditional chocolate fudge with this peanut butter fudge recipe

Is there a Christmas dish or cookie that takes you back to your childhood? For me this peanut butter fudge is a bite  full of memories. I likely was thinking about the fudge more than baby Jesus in the manger at  Christmas Eve Mass. Returning home from mass was always an early morning table of sandwiches and cookies and this fudge. This 5 ingredeint peanut butter fudge was my favorite dessert.

That is how amazing this peanut butter fudge recipe tastes.

I love fudge but the thought of no chocolate in this peanut butter fudge recipe made me skeptical. Is that even allowed; to exclude chocolate and marshmallow fluff from a fudge recipe? Just wait!

This 5 ingredient peanut butter fudge is amazing. It is creamy and dense. Which is how I like my fudge and every dessert bar recipe.

And, in amazing news, this is one of maybe five recipes I did not tweak. Not one tweak. I found the recipe here.

If you have followed me for a while or you know my sister you know I struggle to not tweak and substitute ingredients and directions.

Just check out a few of my recipes.

5 INGREDIENT PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE

This fudge is everything you want it to be during the holidays. It has a total of 5 ingredients, and one of those ingredients is a dash of salt.

This recipe only requires a saucepan and ten minutes. The best part is you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry this time of year.

I have plans to double the batch and deliver to a few neighbors! I will add this three-ingredient treat too.

    I was looking through the blog hop pics and my husband said “oooh fudge, can we take a look at that one first!” I think your peanut butter fudge is going to be a winner in our house!
