Peanut Butter Fudge
Now, I feel I should also mention this. My grandfather is the fudge maker in our family. He calls it candy, and he is the ONLY person in our family that can make HIS fudge. Several of my family members have tried…..and failed. Even my aunt, who is an amazing cook and bakes all the time, can not do his fudge. It also doesn’t help that when my grandfather gives the measurements for his fudge, he uses his hands.
There are no measuring cups or spoons used, and his hands are bigger than most of ours 🙁 Needless to say, fudge is an intimidating thing for me. 4 ingredient peanut butter fudge is so simple to make, you will instantly fall in love.

The main tip that he has given us about his one and only fudge is that the weather has to be nice outside. There’s something about it being a rainy or a very humid day that will make your fudge not set. Or as my grandmother says…you’ll get fudge soup! So as long as it is a nice sunny day outside and your kitchen is not overly hot, this Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe should work just fine!

Easy Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe
See, I told you this Easy Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe really was easy! I have heard that some people put their fudge in the fridge or freezer to speed up the time for it to set, but I have never done this. I like to just put my pan on the counter and let it sit until it’s done.

Easy – Delicious – and so simple 😁 turns out perfect!!
Made it tonight. Easy and delicious…
My tip is to use 1 cup of white sugar and 1 cup of brown as well as a 1/4 cup of evaporated milk and 1/4 cup of water. Makes it super creamy.
I think I either cooked the sugar too long or put too much peanut butter because its very chunky. The flavor is great though!
Chunky peanutbutter works great and taste great too
I love this recipe and made it recently and it came out great. I made a double batch last night and it didn’t set 😩
Can you do chocolate?
I’m making this today. I live in Utah. It looks like it may be a sunny day, but it’s cold outside. Being that the weather can be a factor, has anyone made it in colder temperatures outside and had success?
Great recipe! Super-easy. I make two batches one layer exactly as listed and another exactly the same plus adding some chocolate (I used dark maybe 1/4th cup didn’t measure). layer on top. I stirred the choc tips in first so they would melt and then added vanilla and peanut butter (slightly less than recipe to make up for the chocolate
I made this for Thanksgiving & everyone ate them up! I would tell everyone to double the batch.
2 Tips I would like to share. 1- layer the container with foil then grease so that you can turn upside down & then cut & plate. 2- Pop the mixture in the freezer just as soon as you pour it in the glass container. It will harden super fast to speed up the process. Can’t thank you enough for posting this recipe for us who just couldn’t find that perfect, quick dessert recipe!
How About chocolate?
Cool i will have to try this I have all these ingredients already. I wonder how chunky peanut butter turns out.
I was wondering the same thing. If you try chunky peanut butter, let me know how it turns out. I prefer chunky over creamy anyway!
