Tips & Tricks
- For best results, do not use a natural peanut butter. It can separate and prevent the fudge from holding together. You can use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer it over creamy, but the texture won’t be as smooth.
- For a delicious chocolate and peanut butter combo, top this fudge with some chocolate chips or chopped peanut butter cups after pouring it into the baking pan.
- Be sure not to overcook the milk and sugar mixture. This can cause the fudge to have a dry and crumbly texture.
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 weeks. You can also refrigerate it but be aware that this could dry it out.
Yes – fudge freezes really well. Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag, and it should keep for up to 3 months in your freezer.
