Super-Easy Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge

Made this last night and brought it to work today. It should last until 10 am maybe. Good recipe. Quick and easy. But really rich!

Super easy is putting it mildly! I made this in 2 minutes! It is very creamy, not too sweet like some. When I need a party recipe in a hurry, this is the one I'll reach for. Very good! Thanks!!

My husband kept insisting "It's not fudge." I think that has something to do with the texture - it doesn't firm up as much as more complicated fudge recipes. Still, it's yummy, and a great recipe to pull out of the hat at the last minute. I used a can of "Fun Favorites" that I had on hand (the one that has the pouch of candy coated chocolate & sprinkles). I added the colored bits just before pouring into the pan, and they mixed in without melting. This makes me think you could add red & green sprinkles if you wanted a more "Christmasy" presentation.

This is absolutely the easiest fudge to make in the whole universe! I made two batches. In the first batch I used crunchy peanut butter and added 2/3 cup mini morsels according to Dottie5's suggestion. A very nice chocolate peanut butter fudge evolved (the morsels melt right in). My second batch was done according to the recipe. I think I actually liked the second fudge better, but both were great. When I looked at the available flavors of canned frosting, I started thinking that I might experiment more next time...cheesecake, chocolate fudge flavors... Oh, the total cost to make (in SE Alabama) was $2.50.

Used plain vanilla frosting and chunky PB and it tastes great and was done in a snap with minimal cleanup. Mixed them together and heated in the microwave and lined pan with waxed paper. Done in a snap!

It sounds like wizardry but it is easy and delicious. I used Duncan Hines Creamy Home-Style classic vanilla frosting. I also added 2/3 cup chopped peanuts to peanut butter and 2/3 cup of miniature chocolate chips (Hersheys) to peanut butter and frosting mix. Very impressive with little effort! Again...Delicious!

This is so simple it's almost silly! My only quibble would to say that I don't think it's "fudge". But, recipe title notwithstanding, this candy is very tasty and just so, so easy to make. I bought a 500-gram jar of peanut butter (I used smooth) and a tub of french vanilla frosting -- it all worked great. After putting the mixture into an ungreased 13x9 pan (another time saver!), I noticed that it firmed up quite quickly. All in all, a great recipe to keep on hand for the holidays. I plan to serve little squares of this in red foil cups on my xmas cookie platters. Thanks for the recipe!

I make this all the time. The only difference is that I microwave the peanut butter for 1 minute and as I am dumping it in a bowl, I microwave the icing for 1 minute. Then I mix the two together and stir vigorously. It always sets up nicely and taste great.

I can't believe I haven't rated this!!! I have made it a million times. My husband is a pastor and we call this Pastor's Peanut Butter fudge. If I need a super quick treat to whip up or something to give as a gift this is my go to recipe. I've made it with chocolate frosting too, I've made it with two layers one chocolate one vanilla. Its great and you can't mess it up!

WOW!! This recipe is amazing! It's amazing because:

A.) It takes less than 15 min to make from start to finish
B.) It only has 2 ingredients
C.) I never had to turn on the oven
D.) It taste so freakin good
E.) Cost less than $5.00

I followed this recipe but I did read the reviews before making it, a lot of people were saying that it didn't have fudge consistency so I added 1 cup of powered sugar and it was simply amazing!!

This is supper easy to make. The only problem it does not have the fudge textures so I added 2 cups of powder sugar to the peanut butter. It did the trick. That's why I give it a 4. It just needed a little more work to fix it up just right.

Super easy and the kids love it. I had a piece and it immediately reminded me of the inside of candy Buckeyes that I make for Holidays. I think next time I will take it a step further and melt some choc. chips to spread on top. Thanks for the super easy recipe Nane!

This stuff isn't very good at all. Not at all like fudge. It isn't very sweet and doesn't set up. Won't make again.

I gave this recipe 4 stars. My family really enjoyed this fudge. I first had this fudge at my future mother-inlaws. She got the recipe from my brother-inlaws mother Louise. When Louise made this fudge she used vanilla frosting for one flavor (peanut butter) and chocolate for the other flavor (chocolate/peanut butter). Louise said to Not use whipped frosting. When I made this I used Pillsbury's reduced sugar vanilla frosting (FYI it's 10 grams of sugar per 2 tbl.) serving, Smuckers Natural peanut butter and I added a scoop of GNC vanilla protein powder to bump up my protein. These changes did not affect the flavor at all it tasted great and no one could tell it had protein powder in it! Update: Like any fudge the humidity does affect this fudge. I took the fudge to a outdoors family reunion and my fudge was super soft. Maybe it was the reduced sugar frosting or the because I added protein powder. I let this sit in the fridge overnight to see if it firmed up and it did. It still wasn't firm like Louise's so I think I'll talk with her about how exactly she made it. Overall this is great! I only came home with half a pan and have even less left now! Thanks for posting a yummy recipe! Christine (internetnut)

This fudge was great! Soooo easy and EVERYONE loved it! Of course, it's not what you'd find at the specialty candy stores, but for a great tasting, quick treat it is fantastic! I bring this to gatherings and have given it away in gift baskets. Nobody ever believes how easy it is to make! This recipe is definitely a keeper!

I rated this a 2 because it is incredibly easy to make. However, It is not very good fudge. Fudge us supposed to be sweet, but this really isn't. I won't make it again.

Absolutely the easiest candy desert to make. I was able to whip it up and have it gone in no time flat! I have made it several times. Sometimes it comes out with more of a fudge consistency than others. I think it may depend on the brands of pb and frosting you are using. I did make one using nutello also and that was good. The kids used it for "playdough' and formed little critters with it one time when we ended up with a softer batch. This is a keeper at our house. Thanks for posting!
