Recipe Yield: 2 pounds
Ingredients:
- 2 cans sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup butter
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 1 cup salted peanuts
Instructions:
-
Butter an 8-inch square dish.
- This step ensures that the fudge doesn’t stick to the dish once it’s set. Make sure to coat the dish evenly with butter to facilitate easy removal of the fudge later.
-
In a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl, combine the first 3 ingredients.
- Place the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and margarine in a microwave-safe bowl. Make sure it’s large enough to accommodate the mixture as it will expand when heated.
-
Microwave the mixture at 50% power (medium) for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring at 1 1/2 minute intervals.
- Heating the ingredients at 50% power prevents them from burning or overheating. Stirring at intervals ensures even heating and smooth consistency.
-
Stir in the salted peanuts and pour the mixture into the prepared dish.
- The addition of salted peanuts adds a delightful crunch and enhances the flavor profile of the fudge. Make sure to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
-
Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Chilling the fudge allows it to set properly and attain the perfect texture. Covering the dish prevents any unwanted odors from seeping into the fudge while it sets.
-
Once chilled, cut the fudge into squares.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into uniform squares or rectangles. This step adds visual appeal and makes it easier to serve.
-
Store the fudge covered in the refrigerator.
- To maintain freshness and prevent the fudge from drying out, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Proper storage ensures that you can enjoy this delectable treat for days to come.
Enjoy the irresistible flavor and creamy texture of this homemade Peanut Butter Fudge! Whether you’re indulging in it yourself or sharing it with loved ones, it’s sure to be a hit at any gathering or as a sweet treat for any occasion.
