It’s that time of the year! Treats treats and more treats! Fudge is always a good way to go when your looking for great comfort candy! Last year I shared my easy Microwave Chocolate fudge last year. So this year I’m sharing my peanut butter fudge recipe!

creamy and rich this peanut butter fudge is amazing

I switch back and forth between creamy and crunchy peanut butter, it means you have nuts throughout adding a wonderful crunch. But if you like your fudge smooth just use regular creamy peanut butter. I’m thinking about making a chocolate peanut butter one too, not much better than the two together!

    This fudge is amazing. Never in my 70 years have I had better peanut butter fudge. I used chunky peanut butter. Everyone at my thanksgiving table wants fudge for a Christmas present.

    I live on the coast of Maine in an inlet. I assume this is sea level….? I have heard of “below sea level”, so I wonder. My candy therm (brand new) won’t go above 225. If I cook it any longer, it will burn. My temp is medium heat. (How I hate my electric stove!!) It still seems to set up, but I am still wishing the temp would go up to where you say! Any thoughts??????

      remember the recipe is in Fahrenheit, not Celsius. the candy thermometer should go up to 400 degrees. I’d assume your sea level but it’s worth doing a water boil test to make sure. bring some water to a boil and the moment it boils note the temp. It should be 212 at sea level, anything different from 212 and use the difference to make make your adjustments.

    This fudge is wonderful and everyone who tried it liked it 🙂 I would like to add chocolate and make a chocolate peanut butter fudge but don’t know how much chocolate to use and what kind?

      you could do a thin layer of this fudge then a thin layer of chocolate fudge, or you can pull out part of this mixture while it’s warm an add chocolate to it then swirl together
