Ingredients and Variations
- Peanut butter: Choose a high quality peanut butter for the best results. I like to use the chunky peanut butter to get the pieces of peanuts in the fudge, but smooth works too. You could also use almond butter or cashew butter here.
- Frosting: Jarred vanilla frosting is the key to making easy peanut butter fudge. You'll need one whole container of either vanilla or cream cheese frosting.
- Optional Mix-Ins: You can add in a variety of mix ins to make the no bake peanut butter fudge extra special. Consider adding in semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
How To Make 2 Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge
2 Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge is so easy to make you'll want to make it all the time. It's a great recipe to have on hand for the holidays or to give to any fan of peanut butter treats.
Start by lining a 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
Step 1. Combine ingredients: In a medium sized mixing bowl (microwave-safe bowl), combine peanut butter and frosting.
Step 2. Microwave: Microwave the mixture on high for one minute.
Step 3: Stir to combine: Stir the mixture until well combined. You should have a thick, sticky dough.
Step 4. Press into pan and chill: Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the lined pan using a spatula or your hands to create a smooth surface.
Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the fudge chill for at least 1 hour, or until it's firm enough to slice.
Once chilled, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper or foil overhang. Cut it into small squares with a sharp knife.
