🍽️ Result
You get:
- smooth, creamy fudge texture
- rich peanut butter flavor
- melt-in-your-mouth sweetness
🔥 Tips for perfect fudge
- Don’t overboil—this keeps it soft, not crumbly
- Stir quickly once peanut butter is added (it sets fast)
- Add chopped peanuts or chocolate chips for extra texture
- Chill before cutting for clean squares
If you want, I can also make:
- a chocolate peanut butter swirl fudge
- a microwave 5-minute fudge version
- or a crunchy peanut butter fudge with biscuit pieces
