Peanut Butter Fudge
I know I have said it before, but I really, really like peanut butter. It’s like the magic ingredient that takes food to the next level. Fudge is good on it’s own, but then you add peanut butter chips and something delightful happens.
Peanut butter fudge is always a good idea. It is a fun treat to make for your family, bring to a party, or gift to someone who could use a little sunshine.
Once you realize how easy it is to make you will want to make this peanut butter fudge recipe all the time. Using marshmallow cream and peanut butter chips makes this extra simple to put together.
How long do you boil fudge for?
You don’t just want a subtle boil for fudge- you want a rolling boil. Once it is really going, boil the fudge for 4 minutes. Set a time, don't walk away, and DON'T STOP STIRRING!
How do you harden fudge?
Fudge recipes set up at different rates but this quick peanut butter fudge hardens really quickly. Once I pour it into the pan, I chill the fudge in the fridge for about an hour. Fudge is best served at room temperature so once it is chilled remove from the fridge until you are ready to serve.
How do I store peanut butter fudge?
I like to slice the fudge in small squares and then place wax paper in between layers and put them in an airtight dish. They will stay fresh for a week or so.

This is a simple recipe, but I strongly recommend using the butter instead of margarine! The taste difference is recognizable and as long as you stir it continuously it won't burn!
The only hard part is after adding the peanut butter chips and the marshmallow fluff, it is hard to stir due to the thickness of the mixture. Make sure that you stir it long enough to fully incorporate all of the ingredients!
Other than that it is a really good recipe!
