2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Smooth peanut butter | 2 cups |
| Vanilla frosting (16 oz tub) | 1 container |
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pan
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra hanging over the sides. This makes removing the fudge quick and mess-free once it’s set.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and vanilla frosting. Stir for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and evenly blended. The texture should resemble thick cookie dough.
Step 3: Press and Smooth
Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan. Press it firmly into the corners and smooth the top using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Chill
Place the pan in the refrigerator for 1½ to 2 hours until the fudge is firm. For faster results, freeze it for 45–60 minutes instead.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Lift the fudge out using the parchment paper. Cut into small squares with a sharp knife and serve immediately or store for later enjoyment.
