Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, based on preference)
Directions:
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1/3 cup of milk.
- Microwave:
- Microwave the mixture on high for 3 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflow.
- Mix:
- Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot). Use a hand mixer to blend the mixture until smooth.
- Additional Microwave Time:
- Return the bowl to the microwave for another 31 seconds to ensure everything is melted and combined.
- Add Peanut Butter:
- Stir in 1 cup of peanut butter using a spatula or a wooden spoon until fully incorporated.
- Prepare for Cooling:
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish or frying pan with aluminum foil (this helps with easy removal later).
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly.
- Cool and Chop:
- Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature until set. You can speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, remove the fudge from the dish using the foil, and chop into squares.
Tips:
- Storage: Keep the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Variations: Add chocolate chips, nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before it sets for added flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy the fudge as a sweet treat on its own, or pair it with fresh fruit like apples or bananas for a balanced snack.
This peanut butter fudge is not only quick to make but also deliciously indulgent! Enjoy! 🍫🥜
