Peanut Butter Candy Bar Fudge
This Peanut Butter Candy Bar Fudge is a delightful blend of creamy peanut butter and crunchy candy. Easy to make and no baking required!
Equipment
- Medium Saucepan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 ½ cups Reese's peanut butter chips coarsely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 7 ounces marshmallow crème (1 jar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups assorted candy chopped or whole
Instructions
- Start by lining a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper. This will make it easier to lift the fudge out once it has set.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once the butter has melted, add in the granulated sugar and evaporated milk. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and let it boil for 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the coarsely chopped Reese's peanut butter chips and salt until fully melted and smooth.
- Gently fold in the marshmallow crème and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.
- Fold in your assorted candy, whether chopped or whole, mixing well.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours.
- Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and cut into squares or rectangles.
Notes
- Stir continuously while the fudge mixture is boiling to prevent burning.
- Let the fudge cool completely for the perfect texture.
- Consider using a mix of white chocolate and peanut butter chips for added richness.
