Introduction: No Stovetop Simple Peanut Butter Fudge
One of my favorite desserts is peanut butter fudge, so I thought I'd share my favorite way to make it.
I made this recipe because it's hard to find a non-stovetop recipe for making fudge, so when I discovered this I thought you guys would want to know how to make it too.
This recipe can be doubled to make more if you want!
So enjoy and have fun!
Supplies
Ingredients
1/2 cup or 1 stick of salted or unsalted butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 tsp vanilla or lemon extract (lemon adds a unique but good flavor combination for the peanut butter)
1 cups powdered sugar
1/8 tsp salt (only if your using unsalted butter)
3 tsp water
Tools
8 x 8 inch baking pan
parchment paper
microwave
spoon
Step 1: Ready the Pan
Place a piece of parchment paper in the baking pan, with a little parchment paper hanging over the sides for easy removal. Add a sprinkle of water to baking pan before applying parchment paper, so parchment paper won't come up as much when adding batter so to speak later on.
Step 2: Melting Butter and Peanut Butter
Cut the butter into four pieces (this makes it melt quicker) and add it into a medium sized bowl. Add the peanut butter as well. Put in the microwave for about 1 minute or until melted. Stir until liquid.
Step 3: Adding Ingredients
Add the vanilla or lemon extract and salt (if your using unsalted butter) and stir.
Step 4: Add Powdered Sugar
Add the powdered sugar to mixture and stir. Mixture will be clumpy, so add water one tsp at a time then stir. Mixture should look like the second picture and will not be completely liquidy.
Step 5: Let It Cool
Pour and scoop the mixture into the baking pan and spread out with spoon. Let sit in fridge for about 1 hour, then enjoy!
Step 6: Enjoy!
Once fudge has cooled for about one hour take it out of the fridge and cut into pieces. Or don't and just break pieces off! Enjoy!
