    💗 Why You Will Love This Recipe

    • Sweet and Creamy: This fudge is a wonderfully sweet, creamy treat that no one can resist. One bite, and you'll be hooked.
    • Quick and Easy to Make: With just two ingredients, this simple recipe requires minimal time and effort, making it the perfect dessert for any occasion.
    • Satisfyingly Rich: The combination of creamy peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk creates an indulgent texture and flavor without being overpoweringly rich.

    • No Special Equipment Needed: All you need is a bowl and a spoon to mix the ingredients together; no double-boiler or candy thermometer is needed as you do for traditional fudge.

    🥜 Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

    The best part about this easy recipe is it only requires two ingredients:

    The ingredients for two ingredient peanut butter fudge measured out and placed on a wooden table.
    • Peanut butter. I used smooth peanut butter, but you could also use any kind of peanut butter - even crunchy peanut butter. For a healthier option, use natural peanut butter without added sugar and oil, or almond butter or cashew butter.
    • Sweetened condensed milk: This already has sweetener added, so no additional sugar is needed.

    See the printable recipe card for quantities and a complete list of ingredients.

    🍫 Variations

    • Chocolate-Vanilla Swirl: Add ½ cup of melted white chocolate to the peanut butter and condensed milk mixture before chilling, and swirl the two flavors together for a fancy presentation.
    • Rocky Road Fudge: Stir mini marshmallows and chopped nuts into the fudge mixture before setting it in the pan for added flavor.
    • Caramel Cashew Fudge: Add a layer of salted caramel syrup for an extra sweet treat.
    • Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge: Add crushed cookie dough pieces to the fudge before chilling for a delicious twist.
    • Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge: Add a layer of melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter lay ( 1 cup of melted semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips).

    🥣 How To Make 2 Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

    To make this easy dessert, start by preparing an 8x8-inch baking pan and lining it with parchment or wax paper.

    To make this easy fudge recipe, heat your favorite peanut butter on medium-low heat until melted and smooth.

    Smooth peanut butter added to a medium saucepan.
    The peanut butter melted in the saucepan.

    Pour in the can of sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until fully combined.

    Tip: You can also use a microwave to melt the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts and stir frequently to avoid burning.

    The sweetened condensed milk added to the melted peanut butter.
    The mixture whisked together until smooth and combined.

    Immediately pour mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a rubber spatula.

    Place fudge in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until it has completely set.

    When the fudge is ready, remove it from the refrigerator and cut it into small squares with a sharp knife.

    That's it! That's all!

    Enjoy!

    💭 Expert Tips

    • Use creamy peanut butter – chunky peanut butter can make the fudge too crunchy.
    • If you want more sweetness, stir in mini marshmallows or baking chips. You can use peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, or white chocolate chips.
    • Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
    • After the fudge is poured into the pan, swirl in melted dark or white chocolate to create a marbled effect.
    • Drizzle some melted chocolate over the fudge or sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for a gourmet touch.
    • Serve the fudge alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

    🌡️ Storage Instructions

    To keep your fudge fresh and delicious, leftover fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

    If you need to store the fudge for an extended period, consider freezing it. Simply wrap the fudge tightly in plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the freezer. When you're ready to enjoy it again, thaw it at room temperature for a few hours before serving.

    🧾 Recipe FAQs

    Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?

    Yes, you can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter, depending on your preference. Just melt the peanut butter well before using it in the recipe.

    How long does it take for the fudge to set?

    The fudge will take approximately 2-3 hours to set in the refrigerator. If you're in a rush, you can chill it in the freezer for about an hour.

    Can I add any toppings to the fudge?

    Absolutely! You can add chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even a drizzle of chocolate on top of the fudge before it sets.

      Hubby is very picky about PB fudge. And he likes it. Next time I'll add coconut.

      This looks easy enough! I am going to try to make a low carb version using a sugar free sweetened condensed coconut milk I found on Amazon. It's called Nature's Charm Sweetened Condensed Coconut milk sugar free. Great for diabetics using this as my husband is a diabetic.
