If you make this peanut butter fudge, be sure you have people to share it with — it’s surprisingly hard to resist. I could easily polish off a whole batch in one day. No judgment, just truth.
Sometimes eating several pieces of peanut butter fudge makes you a better person.
The fudge needs a few hours to set, but the hands-on prep takes under 10 minutes. There’s no baking and no complicated steps — just a simple, delicious no-bake treat anyone can make.
Technically this isn’t classic fudge because it doesn’t use milk, but it looks, feels and tastes like fudge. Call it fudge-adjacent and enjoy every bite.

3 Ingredient Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge (quick and easy!)
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter (not natural)
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
-
Grease an 8×8-inch pan with butter, then line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
In a large glass bowl, combine the butter and peanut butter and cover the bowl with a paper towel. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes.
-
Stir, then microwave another 1–2 minutes as needed until fully melted. Be careful when removing the bowl — it will be hot.
-
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla (if using). Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until smooth and combined.
-
Press the mixture evenly into the lined pan with a spatula. Let it cool on the counter about 10 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
-
To remove, invert the pan onto a cutting board so the fudge releases, peel off parchment, and cut into squares.
-
Store the fudge in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and enjoy!
