How to make Peanut Butter Fudge:

Be sure to scroll to the end of this post to print out the complete recipe so you can make this at home.

You will need an 8×8-inch pan. And you’ll butter that pan. On the stove, you’ll heat up evaporated milk, sugar, peanut butter and salt. All you have to do is stir that together and bring it to a boil. You’ll let it boil for about 3 minutes. At this point, the sugar should be pretty well dissolved in the milk.

The fudgy mixture is then scraped into the prepared pan. Then the peanut butter fudge is given a chance to cool completely before cutting into pieces.

The best part is that this fudge is very easy to make.  Small pieces are perfect since peanut butter fudge is very sweet. This is a good recipe for treat platters. And it’s a nice one to wrap up and gift to friends and neighbors too.

The best way to store fudge:

Fudge should be stored in an airtight container. Each layer in the container should be separated by a piece of waxed paper. If you store fudge in the refrigerator in a well-sealed container, it will keep for about 2 weeks. Fudge kept at room temperature will begin to dry out after a few days. You can freeze fudge too. Wrap a few pieces (single layer) in foil and then place the foil in a sealed container or freezer zip bag. Fudge will last in the freezer for a few months when it is wrapped well.
