2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge — The Creamy, No-Bake Treat That Melts in Your Mouth

🛒 What You’ll Need: Pantry Staples, Maximum Joy

Grab these cozy ingredients—you probably already have most:

2 cups (510g) peanut butter (smooth, natural or regular—no separation!)

→ Use almond butter for variation!

1 (16 oz / 450g) container vanilla frosting (like Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, or store brand)

→ Not pudding—frosting! It sets perfectly when chilled.

That’s it.

No sugar.

No cream.

No eggs.

Just real food, chilled into brilliance.

💡 Pro tip: For extra richness, use full-fat peanut butter and whipped-style frosting.

🔥 How to Make It: Step-by-Step, Bite-by-Bite

Let’s cook this like we’re making edible confetti—one golden forkful at a time.

Step 1: Line the Pan

Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper (for easy lift-out).

Lightly grease if needed.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a bowl:

Add peanut butter and vanilla frosting.

Stir with a spatula or spoon until completely smooth and well blended (~1–2 mins).

👉 Batter will be thick and fudgy—like cookie dough.

Step 3: Press Into Pan

Pour mixture into prepared dish.

Use a spatula or greased hands to press evenly into corners.

Step 4: Chill & Set

Refrigerate at least 1.5–2 hours, until firm and sliceable.

👉 For faster set: Freeze 45–60 minutes.

Step 5: Slice & Serve

Lift out using parchment overhang.

Cut into small squares with a sharp knife (wipe blade between cuts for clean edges).

Serve cold—from the fridge or freezer.

Bonus: Leftovers keep beautifully for 2–3 weeks covered in the fridge—or freeze for 3 months!

💡 Pro Tips for Next-Level Success

Tip

Why It Works

✅ Use ready-to-spread frosting

Canned frosting has stabilizers that help it set

✅ Don’t use pudding or yogurt

Won’t firm up properly
