Do you like sweets with peanut butter? I adore them so much! Many of you loved the easy chocolate fudge recipe I shared a few months ago. Today I’m going to show you a peanut butter version that tastes just as rich and good.

There are only five things you need to make this easy peanut butter fudge, plus a little salt and vanilla extract. It doesn’t even need a candy thermometer and doesn’t need to be baked at all. You could easily just use a microwave to make this too. I like to make it on the stove.

I love this dish even more because I always have the ingredients on hand. You can even make half of this dish or all of it.

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 (16 ounce) package brown sugar

  5. That’s a LOT of brown sugar! And powdered sugar. And an electric mixer? Usually not needed. I’m sure it’s great though. But I’m gonna pass.

    • Maybe you could try the recipe using less of the sugars or sub in your favorite sugar substitute….if you do that, Please let me know how it was. Have a great day.

  6. Who cares about the sugar. Folks don’t make fudge because it’s healthy. They want something sweet and yummy! I love this recipe.
