2 Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge

To make the peanut butter version of this recipe, you will need:

  • Peanut Butter. Any brand works but avoid crunchy peanut butter for this.
  • Vanilla Frosting. Grab the frosting that is just regular, classic vanilla; not whipped frosting or cream cheese frosting.

The instructions also couldn’t be easier also: simply melt the two ingredients together in the microwave and then put in a glass dish to cool. Voila!

2 Ingredient Chocolate Fudge

  • Chocolate Chips. Use milk chocolate chip morsels not semi-sweet.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk. Just one can.

Again, you simply melt the two ingredients together and pour into a dish to cool. The difference though, in this and the peanut butter fudge, is to melt the chocolate slower. Chocolate chips can burn if you cook them quickly and then you end up having to start all over.

Is fudge better with condensed milk or evaporated milk?

Condensed milk is the perfect ingredient to use when making fudge since it is known for its creamy and thick texture. If condensed milk is not available, evaporated milk can work as a substitute. While the fudge won't be as sweet, alternative sweeteners can be used and still have a similar consistency and flavor.

What is the secret to perfect fudge?

The trick to good homemade fudge is to cook the ingredients to the right temperature to form a sugar syrup, and cool the mixture properly so the texture of the fudge turns out smooth and firm, but soft enough to cut.

How do you thicken fudge with condensed milk?

Instead of adding evaporated milk, add some powdered sugar and remix your fudge batter. The powdered sugar can help the fudge set and harden if it is resistant to doing so. Add a mixture of water and cornstarch. First, combine water and cornstarch (1:1) and mix thoroughly according to package instructions.

How do you harden peanut butter fudge?

Fudge not setting is often caused by the fudge mixture not getting hot enough or not being cooked for long enough. If it's really soft, you can try to reheat it, adding a little more milk. Bring it slowly back to a boil then try again - it should set firmer.
