Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make this fudge. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

  • white chocolate (high quality)
  • smooth peanut butter
  • sweetened condensed milk
  • vanilla extract
  • peanuts, chopped (I used salted)

How to make Peanut Butter Fudge

To make this fudge recipe, simply add your white chocolate and peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth.

Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and peanuts, and stir in until combined. At this point, the mixture will be quite thick.

Spread the mixture into an 8×8-inch square baking pan lined with parchment paper or foil, and smooth out the top. If desired, top with even more chopped peanuts.

Refrigerate for 2 – 4 hours or overnight until completely set. Cut into pieces, and enjoy!

The printable recipe card with the FULL list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
