Creamy peanut butter fudge is something I crave all the time! I love the different flavors of fudge, how it melts in your mouth, and that a little piece goes a long way. When I started making fudge, I made it the old fashioned way which took some time. Now that I’ve been cooking for quite a few years, I’ve found a way to make it in the microwave! That means I can whip up a batch of fudge any time I want. Plus this recipe doesn’t require any marshmallows or fluff so you most likely have everything you need in your pantry. Once you sink your teeth into this, you’ll see and taste how creamy and scrumptious it is...enjoy!
Ingredients are as follows:
1 C butter (no substitutes)
1 C creamy peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2 C powdered sugar
Directions:
Grease an 8 x 8 inch pan.
Place the butter into a bowl and melt in the microwave.
Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla.
Slowly mix in the powdered sugar; stir until combined.
Place back in the microwave and heat for 1 minute on high.
Stir again and then pour into prepared pan.
Place in the fridge until it sets up. Slice, serve and enjoy!

I made this today, and it turned out perfect, and tastes delicious…Thank you 🙂
I’m happy you like it, thanks for the sweet comment 🙂
This was quick and easy to make. I’m not a peanut butter person, but my family loves it. I just made this for Christmas and everyone loved it! It was gone. Thank you Rachel from Explore Kid Talk
Thank you Rachel for the sweet comment and taking the time to leave it. I’m happy to hear your family enjoyed it 🙂
I stirred in the sugar as butter in first by accident, is there anything I can do to fix it? It’s runny right now and i can feel/see the sugar.
the sugar and butter*. my bad
I’m so sorry, I just saw this…hopefully you continued on with the recipe and it worked.
So what if it never hardens.
If it’s not grainy then it means the temperature was not brought up correctly, maybe your microwave isn’t as powerful as the one I used. However, just reheat it in increments of 30 seconds, stirring after each, until you reach a temperature of 235 degrees and then pour back into the pan and allow to cool.
My fudge has been in the fridge for about 2 hours, not 100% set yet. Still too runny. What do you suggest?
You can’t use all natural peanut butter so hopefully that’s not the case, but If it’s not grainy then it means the temperature was not brought up correctly, maybe your microwave isn’t as powerful as the one I used. However, just reheat it in increments of 30 seconds, stirring after each, until you reach a temperature of 235 degrees and then pour back into the pan and allow to cool. You can also add in more powdered sugar, but it’ll take the sweetness level up too.
I love that this recipe is so easy. The only other microwave recipe that I’ve seen like this was a peanut brittle one so I’m excited to add another one to my personal recipe book!
I’m going to share it on the DailyMomBlogs facebook page on December 15th.
I know that this would be something other moms could make easily.
Thank you Patty, it is greatly appreciated!
Can I make this chocolate peanut butter
You sure can! Just add in the desired amount of cocoa powder and whisk it in with the peanut butter and melted butter.
