Peanut Butter Fudge

I like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I like peanut butter cookies. I like nutter butter cookies. I like those peanut butter cheese crackers you get from the vending machine at the airport when you flight is delayed. I like asian peanut sauce. Do you see where this is headed? Yes, I like peanut butter fudge.

This is not my recipe, but now that I’m looking for where or when I first found this one I have no idea. When I search for fudge recipes I come across several sources with this ingredient list. Several from the larger food sites and some from fellow food bloggers. Now that I’m creating this article, I have no idea who to credit if credit is due. What I do know is that most of the articles I see lack the step-by-step photos of making this.

Maybe I need to ask my mother what recipe she used since my initial inspiration came from her. Our family has enjoyed plenty of fudge over the years. My mother has almost always made this during the holiday’s. I figured it was time for me to figure out how to make it.

This is another one of those recipes with an “ah ha moment” I had no idea how easy it is to make. I do recommend all-natural peanut butter for a suburb flavor and taste.

Here is how I make peanut butter fudge.

First gather all the ingredients.

Peanut Butter Fudge

Start by melting 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter.
