Ingredients
Instructions

- Add butter and peanut butter, then mix well.
- Press the mixture into a baking dish and cut into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and high-quality peanut butter. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can substitute creamy peanut butter for the crunchy kind. To enhance the sweetness, add a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract. This fudge can also be customized by incorporating chopped nuts or chocolate chips. It's great for making treats like Pineapple Graham Cracker Pie!
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for a decadent dessert or snack. It pairs beautifully with coffee or a glass of cold milk. You can also serve it alongside fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast. For a fun twist, use the fudge as a topping for ice cream or crumbled over the top of The 10-Minute German Sweet Chocolate Cream Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate the fudge, where it will stay fresh for about two weeks. If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate before cutting. Reheat individual squares in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if you like them slightly warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of nut butter in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter. Just keep in mind that the flavor will change slightly depending on the nut butter chosen. Make sure to check for any allergies if serving to guests.
How can I make this fudge healthier?
You can reduce the amount of powdered sugar and substitute some of the butter with unsweetened applesauce or coconut oil. Additionally, using whole grain graham cracker crumbs can increase the fiber content, making it a healthier option without compromising the flavor.
What can I do if my fudge is too crumbly?
If your fudge mixture is too crumbly, it may be due to insufficient moisture. You can add a little more melted butter or peanut butter to help bind the ingredients together. Mix thoroughly until you reach a consistency that can be pressed into the pan without falling apart.
