Quick and Easy Peanut Butter Fudge
This easy 3-ingredient fudge comes together in just minutes using the microwave! Ideal for gifting or for a sweet treat at Christmas.
Servings: 36 pieces
Equipment
- microwave
- 8-inch square pan
Ingredients
- 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk not evaporated
- 2/3 cup peanut butter traditional style not natural
- 16 oz. white almond bark broken into pieces I used CandiQuick
- Flake or coarse grain sea salt optional
Instructions
- Spray an 8-inch square pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper that overhangs the edges; set aside.
- Place the sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk), 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter and pieces of almond bark in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat in the microwave uncovered on high (100% power) in 1-minute increments, stirring well after each burst, until melted and smooth. This will take about 3 minutes. After 3 minutes if fudge is not melted, continue microwaving in 30 second increments.
- Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth top with spatula and lightly tap pan against countertop several times to help level and smooth fudge.
- Sprinkle top with flake sea salt while fudge is warm if desired. Place in refrigerator and let chill until set, about 2 hours.
- When fudge is set, lift out of pan by edges of parchment paper and transfer to cutting board and cut into 36 pieces.
- Stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
If you don’t have a microwave, you can make this fudge on your stove top, melting over medium heat; it will take a little longer than 3 minutes to melt.
