Recipe 1: Classic Peanut Butter Fudge

This classic peanut butter fudge is rich, creamy, and peanut-buttery—just the way it should be. This double batch will yield plenty to share and savor!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 2 cups unsalted butter
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prep the pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan (or an equivalent-sized pan) with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy removal later.
2. Melt the butter and peanut butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and peanut butter together over low heat. Stir until completely smooth and combined.
3. Add powdered sugar: Slowly add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter and butter mixture. Stir continuously until everything is well-combined and the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
4. Add vanilla and salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
5. Pour and set: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
6. Cut and serve: Once the fudge has firmed up, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut it into squares and enjoy!

Pro Tip:

For an extra crunchy twist, fold in a handful of chopped peanuts into the fudge mixture before setting it in the pan.

Recipe 2: Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

This version takes the classic peanut butter fudge to the next level by adding a layer of chocolate on top. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is a match made in heaven.

Ingredients:

For the peanut butter layer:

• 2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 2 cups unsalted butter
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

For the chocolate layer:

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions:

1. Prepare the peanut butter layer: Follow the same instructions as the Classic Peanut Butter Fudge recipe to make the peanut butter layer. Pour the mixture into a lined 9×13-inch baking pan, smoothing it into an even layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the chocolate layer.
2. Make the chocolate layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and completely melted.
3. Layer the fudge: Once the peanut butter layer is set, pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top. Use a spatula to smooth it into an even layer.
4. Chill to set: Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until both layers are firm.
5. Cut and serve: Once the fudge is set, remove it from the pan and cut it into squares. The rich combination of peanut butter and chocolate will be a hit with everyone!

Pro Tip:

For a more indulgent experience, drizzle a bit of melted white chocolate on top of the chocolate layer for a beautiful (and extra sweet!) finish.
