My Famous Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

I am so excited to share my peanut butter fudge recipe with you today. With only five ingredients, this is an incredible treat that absolutely everyone loves. 

Peanut butter fudge is a delicious treat. It’s in the same category as Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, but homemade. It’s sweet and salty and very delicious.

I have been serving peanut butter fudge at our Christmas Party for the last thirty years. It’s the first dessert to disappear and I have friends who often request that I bring my Peanut Butter Fudge to events and parties. It’s really that good!

Today I have joined some very talented blogger friends and we are featuring twenty different holiday dessert recipes. Be sure to check them out at the bottom of this blog post.

The peanut butter and graham cracker mixture have a texture similar to oatmeal. It may seem a bit sticky at first. If the rubber spatula sticks, use the back of a large metal spoon to spread it into the pan.

The chocolate and peanut butter fudge recipe is so easy to follow! Just layer the chocolate over the peanut butter and spread flat in the pan.

Can the recipe be modified?

I have one friend who likes more chocolate on his peanut butter fudge. I always adapt when I get requests, so we doubled the chocolate listed in the recipe. And the fudge was so good.

You can also replace the chunky peanut butter with smooth peanut butter. 

Enjoy the recipe and make sure to try this fabulous treat. Yum.
