This Peanut Butter Fudge is so silky and smooth it melts in your mouth. It’s easy to make and only requires four ingredients to produce a fool proof easy peanut butter fudge that is absolute perfection!
Nothing compares to homemade fudge. We hoard it like gold around here, not daring to share too much, because it is just that good. However, we’re not monsters, we knew we had to at least share our favorite fudge variation recipe with you. The perfect peanut fudge must absolutely be silky and smooth. There’s nothing worse than a grainy peanut butter fudge. This recipe is absolutely fool-proof and is made in the microwave for a perfectly smooth peanut butter fudge every single time.
White Chocolate Tip:
It is vital to use a high quality white chocolate for the best peanut butter fudge. Some of our favorite high-quality brands are Callebaut, Bakers Premium, Merckens, and Lindt.
If you’re looking for a low-sugar alternative, ChocZero white chocolate chips are a great option.
How do you make microwave fudge?
All of the ingredients can be combined directly in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30 second increments, stirring in between. Microwaving for longer periods of time, or for too long will result in burnt chocolate that becomes grainy and difficult to work with. The ingredients will continue to melt outside of the microwave as you stir them so it is best to simply stir until melted once only small lumps remain.
Can I add peanuts for a crunchy peanut butter fudge?
Yes! You can absolutely stir peanuts into this peanut butter fudge recipe to create a crunchy bite. Add 1/2 cup of roughly chopped peanuts into the fudge mixture just before pouring into your pan to refrigerate.
Sweetened Condensed Milk:
It’s absolutely vital to use sweetened condensed milk to create perfectly smooth fudge. It works every single time and provides the perfect level of sweetness.
Storage Instructions:
Fudge should be stored in an airtight container. I like to use a plastic storage container or a resealable plastic bag, but you can also wrap it in aluminum foil. Fudge can be stored at room temperature, but will last longer when stored in the fridge. It will stay good in the fridge for about 3 weeks.

We LOVE this easy to make fudge!! So creamy & smooth. I’ll be making this again & again. Thank you.
My mom made us peanut butter fudge as children. We’ve always searched for a duplicate. This is close, maybe even better. My search is over. This is delicious! Not to mention easy!
I made this delicious fudge in the microwave today and could not believe how quickly it came together. I was skeptical since I never made fudge in the microwave and I haven’t cooked anything in one year. I wanted something I would actually make at home. I fell last Thanksgiving eve and shattered my femur. I have spent the last year in the hospital, physical therapy hospital, and now a extended care facility. After many hurdles and pitfalls I am finally preparing to go home. Today I had PT watching me as I worked in their therapy kitchen. I could cook anything I wanted. I chose this fudge recipe because it was an easy place to start and I was then able to give it to the therapy girls in appreciation for all they have taught me. I had no recipes of my own here and had saved this recipe to make when I got home. I now know I will definitely be able to accomplish it for Christmas. You have made me very happy today. I wish you could see my face. I can’t stop smiling.
Bess, what a great story. I’m sorry for your misfortune but happy to read your story ended with a happy ending. It is now December 24, 2022, I hope you are all healed and doing well. Merry Christmas to you Bess.
