Some of the most memorable desserts come from the simplest ideas, and 2-ingredient peanut butter fudge is a perfect example. With no baking, no candy thermometer, and no complicated steps, this recipe transforms two pantry staples into a rich, creamy treat that tastes like it took far more effort than it actually did.
Whether you’re short on time, new to cooking, or just craving something sweet and comforting, this fudge delivers instant satisfaction with minimal fuss.
Why This Recipe Works
Peanut butter fudge relies on the natural fats and proteins in peanut butter combined with the sweetness and structure of its second ingredient. When mixed together and chilled, the ingredients firm up into a smooth, sliceable fudge with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. It’s a foolproof method that doesn’t require special skills or equipment.
Ingredients You’ll Need
-
1 cup creamy peanut butter
-
1 cup sweetened condensed milk or powdered sugar (depending on your preferred version)
(Choose sweetened condensed milk for a softer, creamier fudge, or powdered sugar for a firmer, more traditional texture.)
