This 5-Minute Peanut Butter Fudge is SO EASY! A creamy, dreamy treat with just a handful of ingredients for a quick sweet fix.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- 8-inch square pan
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter natural, creamy, or crunchy
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar optional
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make it easier to lift out the fudge later.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil for about 20-30 seconds. Alternatively, melt butter if using.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, honey, sea salt, and vanilla. Add confectioners' sugar if using. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Transfer the peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread evenly and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 30 minutes, or until set.
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for best flavor and texture.
- Customize with add-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra flair.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Freeze fudge squares for longer storage, up to three months.
- To soften fudge, let sit at room temperature or microwave briefly before serving.
