2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge — The Creamy, No-Bake Treat That Melts in Your Mout

This 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge is a game-changer for anyone who wants a decadent dessert without the stress of candy thermometers or boiling sugar. By using store-bought vanilla frosting, you are essentially using a pre-emulsified “sugar and fat” base that, when mixed with the protein and oils in peanut butter, sets into a perfectly smooth, melt-in-your-mouth fudge. It’s the ultimate low-effort, high-reward treat.

How To Make 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge:

Step 1: Prep the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Leave a little bit of an overhang on the sides; this “sling” will allow you to lift the entire block of fudge out for easy slicing once it has set.

Step 2: Combine and Blend: In a large microwave-safe bowl (optional, see tips), combine the 2 cups of peanut butter and the entire 16 oz container of vanilla frosting. Stir with a sturdy spatula for about 1/2 minutes until the color is uniform and the mixture is completely smooth. The batter will be thick, similar to a soft cookie dough.

Step 3: Press and Level: Transfer the fudge mixture into your prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon or a greased offset spatula to press the mixture firmly into the corners and smooth out the top surface.

Step 4: The Chill Factor: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If you are in a rush, you can pop it in the freezer for 45/60 minutes. The fudge is ready when it feels firm to a light touch.

Step 5: Slice for Success: Using the parchment paper handles, lift the fudge out of the pan and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the block into small, bite-sized squares.
