Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge
This quick and easy Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge is a creamy, no-bake homemade dessert that’s ready in minutes for any festive—or just Tuesday—craving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter natural, no-stir style if you want extra creaminess
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks for a richer flavor
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar sifted (use confectioners’ sugar for a smooth texture)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter sub coconut oil for dairy-free option
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract look for a brand with deep flavor notes
- Pinch fine sea salt balances sweetness; feel free to use a flavored salt
- Optional mix-ins: chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or a sprinkle of crushed pretzels
Instructions
- Combine peanut butter, chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla in a medium-microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat on high for short bursts, stirring in between, until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
- Stir in powdered sugar and sea salt until no lumps remain.
- Fold in any mix-ins if desired, then chill in the fridge until firm.
- Slice into squares and serve at room temperature for a creamy experience.
Notes
I tested this Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge five times to nail the creamy consistency. If your peanut butter is extra oily, tap off a bit of the surface oil before measuring.
