This fast and simple recipe yields tasty peanut butter fudge with a surprising "nut-like crunch" that will confound all who try to guess what it is! It is also very inexpensive to make, because it does not require butter or nuts!
Mix sugar and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Place all remaining ingredients in a bowl. Pour hot mixture over them and mix thoroughly. Pour into a buttered or sprayed pan (I use 2 pie tins). Let cool in refrigerator. Cut and enjoy! Ask folks to guess what makes the subtle crunch!
Note: I have stirred in a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips just before pressing into the pan, for a nice change. It makes a marbled look and has a flavor similar to a peanut butter cup.

I have been trying to find these forever. It's a no-cook peanut butter fudge made with three ingredients: smooth peanut butter, granulated sugar, and white corn syrup. I can't remember the amounts.
I could never make fudge that I didn't have to put in the freezer and eat with a spoon until I tried this, now I have finally got it right.
Boil for 5 minutes, the sugar, margarine and milk. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Let set up.
For topping, melt a 1 lb Hershey bar and spread on chilled peanut butter mix. Return fudge to refrigerator until the chocolate has set...
Fudge lovers, here is a very nice recipe. In heavy saucepan, melt peanut butter chips and 2 Tbsp. margarine or butter with 1 cup sweetened condensed milk. Remove from heat; stir in peanuts.
Put sugar and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from burner after 3 minutes. Stir in peanut butter and marshmallow cream.

In the past someone told me how to make peanut butter fudge using vanilla frosting, they do not remember the recipe and I have lost how to make it. Can anyone tell me what this recipe might be? Thanks,
You can use a package of peanut butter chips (like chocolate chips) and melt them in the microwave, then stir in the frosting. Pour into a buttered dish.
Use 1 tub vanilla frosting
1 jar of peanut butter
Combine in bowl and add confectioners sugar until you get the consistency that you want.
Just two items for Peanut Butter Fudge
Vanilla frosting (peel off seal). Microwave for 60 seconds.
Pour into bowl add Jiffy Smooth Peanut Butter 18oz jar.
Stir fast and pour into small pan. Refrigerate for a few minutes.
For a 13x9 you will need to double up.
Note this is just a small batch.
We make this fudge for teacher gifts every year and it is always a big hit! (You can even find adorable Christmas Chinese takeout style boxes at Target for $1. I have make this with chocolate frosting as well as vanilla then put both in the boxes for variety.
I have also used chunky peanut butter and it was a little like the difference between regular m&ms and peanut m&ms. I prefer the chunky but a lot of people prefer the creamy so I do both.
I microwave 1 can frosting (make sure you remove foil top) for 30 seconds, then microwave 1 jar peanut butter for 30 seconds mix together and put in 9x13 brownie pan. If I am in a hurry I refrigerate to set it, but I noticed when I refrigerate to set it seems to get softer as it warms up; whereas if I just let it set at room temp it stays firmer. I have also dusted the top with confectioners sugar to make it super pretty.
This recipe is so easy and cheap, just experiment with it to find the combo you like best!
I make this with cream cheese frosting and a jar of any peanut butter and blend with a hand mixer. Spread into a pan and either eat instantly or refrigerate. No microwave needed.
Does anyone out there have a tried and true peanut-butter fudge recipe using marshmallow cream? Also, how I can freeze it?
Thank you very much.

Easy and good Peanut Butter Fudge!
2 Cups sugar
1/2 Cup milk
1 1/3 Cups Peanut Butter (I use crunchy)
1 - 7 oz. jar Marshmallow Fluff
Into a large saucepan, pour milk and sugar and bring to a boil for 3 minutes stirring constantly so it doesn't burn.
Take off burner and add the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. Mix well (until it's smooth and creamy... your arm will feel like falling off!) and pour into a buttered 8" pan. Chill until set and cut into squares.
This recipe came from my step-mom and it's the only peanut butter fudge my hubby will eat! Very rich and very tasty! Doesn't last more than a couple of days with just myself and my husband to eat it... he eats most of it!

1 cup marshmallow creme
1 tsp vanilla

I wondering about using morels (chips). I only have real chocolate, even white chocolate too, but how can I use or weight it up exactly? This is my first time making this candy.
I even got the butter, fluff, and vanilla, but what else? I ran out money. I'm on a fix income (disabled). God bless.the chocolate chips are a 12 oz. pkg. so I would use 12 oz. of your chocolate. you will need 1 stick of butter, 3 cups of sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla and pecans or walnuts if you like nuts in your fudge. Follow the directions on the jar of fluff.
1 cup of chocolate equals a half pound. Are you working off a recipe? Your question is a little confusing.
You can use morsels or any chocolate pieces. You can use a double boiler, a heat proof bowl over boiling water, or a microwave to melt. You can use a postal scale to weigh.
The chocolate part was oily. I melted 2 cups of chips, 2 Tbsp. butter, and 1/2 can condensed milk. It seems the butter separated from the chocolate.
I absorbed some with a paper towel after spreading it over the peanut butter. I just put it in the fridge. I don't know the end result yet.Just melt the chjps and condensed milk. Omit the butter then spread over the peanut butter.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, then add the milk. Don't know that you need the butter at all.
I am looking for peanut butter fudge for a diabetic.

Diabetic Peanut Butter Fudge
OK one thing you need to know you dont need a recipe just leave out the sugar and make it with splenda, or no sugar at all. Follow the recipe you have and leave out the sugar. Sugar is what causes diabetic shock, which brings me to my second point. My office that I just got hired at this week. Invited me to the office Christmas party with all the stuff included, but when I got there they refused to give me punch and I found out the pizza was for the staff appreciation of the year party after our party. I am a client in a disabled working environment. 80 % of the clients are extremely disabled and mentally challenged and it is more of a day care for their cheap family to dump them at for each day. The cookies were made with splenda and they didn't turn out well at all and tasted terrible, not that anyone offered me any and I waited an hour before the plate offered to everyone else was put down on a table to take one. I then went home. I felt they should have given the party for just the disabled then at least we could have had sugar punch for all and sugar cookies. I mean talk about my bosses being so petty to the non mentally retarded, as to not even think of my feelings or their feelings. I will never use splenda in any cookie I make ever. I wouldn't suggest it to you either. If you have to make the fudge thou make it without the sugar unless you like splenda.
Go to splenda.com . There are lots of recipes for sugar free goodies!
