This old-fashioned style of peanut butter fudge is not that easy to find out there. The ones I tend to run across always seem to be the soft, creamy version, which is not what I'm into. If it's going to feel like peanut butter in my mouth, then what's the point? No, I want something that feels dense and firm in my fingers but will almost instantly liquefy in when it hits my tongue.
Ingredients
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1.25 cups unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
-
1
Sift sugar through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl.
-
2
Heat butter and peanut butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk to combine and cook until bubbles appear on the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in salt and vanilla extract. Pour over powdered sugar in the bowl. Mix together using a spatula until smooth.
-
3
Spread mixture into an 8x8-inch baking pan lined with plastic wrap. Wrap fully and refrigerate until firm enough to cut but not too hard, 1 to 3 hours.
-
4
Unwrap fudge and cut into small cubes. Let warm up on the counter before cutting if needed.

Heavenly Raspberry Dessert
Light-tasting and delicious! My mother's famous dessert recipe has completed many holiday meals and makes a stunning summery cake. This works beautifully with strawberries as well.
Vegan Shepherd's Pie with Sweet Potato
This vegan shepherd's pie is comforting, healthy, delicious and really easy to make. You can also make it in batches to freeze and serve when you don't have much time to cook. We used lentils to make ours, but you could use chickpeas instead, if you'd prefer. Serve with fresh cilantro if desired.
Lamb Burgers
This lamb burger recipe was the best one I made when I bought a selection of lamb cuts from a CSA and got several one-pound packages of ground lamb. The patties are delicious served in buns topped with Dijon mayonnaise, tomato slices, and baby greens.
