Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (16 ounce) jar creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and creamy peanut butter.
- Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Stir well until the mixture is smooth.
- Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and easily combined. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes total, depending on your microwave power.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture, mixing with a sturdy spoon or spatula until fully incorporated and a thick dough forms. This is the best peanut butter candy base.
- Press the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use a piece of plastic wrap or a greased spatula to press it down firmly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the creamy peanut butter with natural peanut butter, but be aware that natural peanut butter may require slightly longer microwaving time to incorporate fully.
- If you want to make this a classic old fashioned fudge presentation, you can dust the top lightly with extra powdered sugar before cutting.
- This recipe is a fantastic no bake peanut butter dessert option for beginners.
