Just skip to the print button for this recipe. That’s 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 are my sister you know I struggle to not tweak and substitute ingredients and directions. Just check out a few of my recipes.
This peanut butter 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 fudge recipe only requires a saucepan and ten minutes. And, you likely have all the ingredients in your pantry this time of year.
