To make it have more of a peanut butter flavor I switched chocolate chips with peanut butter ones awesome!
The recipe is correct as written, Debbie. There is no way you would use 2 lbs. of sugar in that recipe.
Love this recipe! Not only is it easy, everyone loves it!
I just use plain Canola cooking spray. It does not have a flavor.
Sounds delicious, cain’t wait to try it for christmas.
We have always made this with 1/4 cup cocoa instead of chocolate chips for over 60 years. So if you don’t have chocolate chips on hand give it a try. So easy to make.
thank you so much…i know i can do this..omg been looking for something this easy forever..
Is it dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips! Thanks, love all these recipes!
I use milk chocolate but you could use either.
This is my new favorite fudge. It was so easy to make and it is so creamy and delicious. Thanks.
Sounds awesome, I am making some now, have it the refrigerater and my younger son “called” the bowl lol. Smells amazing and tastes pretty good. Now it’s time to just sit and wait.
Remembering when I made this (immediately) when you posted it this summer. I’m just glad my holiday baking is done or I’d be tempted to make this fudge and eat it tonight. Delicious and an easy recipe.
Can’t wait to try this! I don’t have a recipe for peanut butter fudge at the moment so this is perfect. One more to add to the holiday baking list!
Oh YUM! But this is dangerous, Judy 🙂 Way too quick and easy. It’s probably just as well that I don’t have the ingredients on hand right now… Probably shouldn’t have fudge instead of supper, huh?
Michele, you are absolutely right – did have all the ingredients and immediately made the fudge. I brought some to a friend’s house that night, came home, and started cutting off small bites for myself. The rest will be leaving the house adorning a cookie tray for another friend today. (I hope.) Darn good fudge!
You had me at “easy” and “quick”, oh wait, was the word FUDGE in the heading! Just baked three kinds of cookies but isn’t there always room for fudge??? (Yes.)
