Notes
Variations:
For chocolate peanut butter fudge, drizzle melted chocolate over the top before refrigerating.
Add nuts (like peanuts, almonds, or walnuts) for extra crunch.
For a vegan version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and ensure the peanut butter is dairy-free.
Try a salted caramel twist by sprinkling sea salt on top before chilling.
Storage: Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
