Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix milk, peanut butter, confectioners sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
- Roll into 1-inch balls or press into an 8 x 8-inch pan.
- Refrigerate for best taste and texture.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using a natural peanut butter without added sugar. If you prefer a chocolate version, substitute half of the confectioners sugar with cocoa powder. You can also add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. If rolling into balls, wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover peanut butter from American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These no-bake fudge bites make a delightful snack or dessert. They pair beautifully with Vanilla Yogurt Ice Cream for a simple yet indulgent treat. You can also serve them alongside fresh fruit for a balanced dessert option. Try offering them at parties or potlucks, where they’re sure to be a hit!
Storage & Reheating
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If you press it into a pan, cut it into squares for easier serving. For longer storage, you can freeze the fudge; just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Thaw in the fridge before consuming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other nut butters instead of peanut butter?
Yes, you can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that the taste and texture may vary slightly. Make sure the nut butter is smooth for the best results.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make this no-bake fudge vegan, substitute the milk with a plant-based alternative like almond milk or coconut milk, and ensure the confectioners sugar is free from bone char processing. Most peanut butters are already vegan, but double-check the label just to be safe.
Can I add mix-ins to this fudge?
Absolutely! You can fold in mini chocolate chips, dried fruits, or nuts to add texture and flavor. Just be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the consistency. Adding mix-ins makes this treat even more customizable and fun!
