Description

This creamy Peanut Butter Fudge with Marshmallow Creme is a deliciously smooth and sweet treat perfect for any occasion. Combining the rich flavors of peanut butter and the fluffy texture of marshmallow creme, this fudge is easy to prepare in just 15 minutes and sets firm in the refrigerator. Optional toppings like melted white chocolate and graham cracker crumbs add an extra layer of indulgence.

Ingredients

Fudge Base

  • 2 teaspoons butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1-1/3 cups peanut butter
  • 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme

Optional Toppings

  • Melted white chocolate
  • Graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line an 8-inch square pan with foil, making sure the foil covers the sides. Grease the entire pan thoroughly with softened butter, paying attention to all edges and corners to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the base: In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and whole milk. Place it over medium heat and stir constantly to dissolve the sugar. Once it reaches a boil, continue boiling for three minutes while stirring continuously to avoid burning.
  3. Remove from heat: After boiling for three minutes, remove the saucepan immediately from the heat to stop further cooking and prevent the mixture from over-thickening or burning.
  4. Add peanut butter and marshmallow creme: Stir in the peanut butter and marshmallow creme into the hot sugar mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are fully blended and smooth, creating a creamy fudge batter.
  5. Spread into pan: Immediately pour and spread the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared foil-lined pan. Use a rubber spatula to smooth out the surface for even setting.
  6. Cool the fudge: Allow the fudge to cool slightly at room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator.
  7. Refrigerate until firm: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill until the fudge sets firmly, which usually takes at least 2 hours.
  8. Remove from pan: Once firm, use the foil to lift the fudge out of the pan in one piece. Carefully peel off the foil from the fudge.
  9. Add optional toppings: If desired, drizzle melted white chocolate over the top of the fudge and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs for added texture and flavor.
  10. Cut and store: Cut the fudge into squares and store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use a heavy saucepan to ensure even heat distribution and prevent burning.
  • Constant stirring during boiling is crucial to achieve the right fudge consistency.
  • Do not skip greasing or foil lining the pan to ease fudge removal.
  • Refrigeration time can vary; chill until the fudge is firm to the touch.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • For a different flavor, you can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter, but texture and taste may vary.
