Ingredients for 15 Minute No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

How to Make 15 Minute No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

  1. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted. Let cool slightly.
  2. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the melted butter. Mix thoroughly by hand until well combined.
  3. Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix vigorously by hand until a smooth, thick fudge forms. (Adding the sugar gradually prevents lumps).
  4. Pour the fudge mixture into an 8x8 inch greased baking pan or a similar sized container.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the fudge to set. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
