A simple and delicious 2-ingredient peanut butter fudge made with creamy peanut butter and vanilla frosting. This easy recipe requires minimal preparation and sets up perfectly into rich, creamy squares, perfect for a quick sweet treat or holiday dessert.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 18 oz creamy peanut butter (e.g., Jif)
  • 16 oz vanilla frosting (e.g., Betty Crocker)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line a 9×9 or 8×8 square pan with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and vanilla frosting until well blended.
  3. Microwave Mixture: Heat the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly to ensure even heating. Repeat microwaving for another 30 seconds and stir well again until smooth.
  4. Transfer to Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Use an offset spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the surface.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for about 2 hours or until it is set and firm to the touch.
  6. Slice and Serve: Cut the fudge into bite-sized squares and enjoy your creamy peanut butter treat.

Notes

  • Peanut Butter: It is best to use a creamy, processed peanut butter like Jif for proper texture; natural peanut butter will not set well.
  • Frosting: Use your preferred brand of vanilla frosting; Betty Crocker is a reliable choice.
  • Storage: Keep the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
