This peanut butter fudge is made on the stovetop but couldn’t be easier! It’s so creamy and easy to make that it will have everyone asking for the recipe!
Around 13 years ago, a friend of mine brought this peanut butter fudge to a neighborhood get together. I’m always there for the plate of fudge, so it was no surprise that I was drawn to it.
But as someone who is “always there for the fudge”, that means I’m also pretty strict with what fudge is worth the calories.
GUYS.
This is like the holy grail of all fudges!
It is so smooth and creamy and practically melts in your mouth. The peanut butter taste doesn’t get buried beneath too much sugar… and I honestly just cannot sing it’s praises enough!
In fact, I love this fudge so much that it took me 12.5 years to ask for the recipe! Ha!
I knew that if I had the recipe then I would make it all the time, so every time she offered to send it to me, I’d shoot her right down and tell her she better not dare.
Until finally I cracked this past spring, and I got the recipe. I made it about 30 minutes later and didn’t regret one bite.
How to Make Stovetop Fudge
There are all kinds of recipes out there for microwave fudge and no-bake fudge, and they’re good. I mean, I’ll never put down a fudge recipe. But the main appeal of them is how easy they are.
I think some people get intimidated by a stovetop fudge recipe because they think they’ll have to break out the candy thermometer, watch it closely and remove it at just the right second.
I promise you, though, none of that is true with this recipe for the fudge on the stove! No thermometer needed and you have a little bit of leeway in there with cooking time.
And the appeal of stovetop fudge?? You’ll get the creamiest fudge around!
It’s worth a couple extra minutes to make it this old-fashioned way!
