How to make Cashew Peanut Butter Fudge
So easy to make, this fudge can be started in the microwave with the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk. Heat in microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. Return to microwave and check every 20 seconds until everything is completely smooth. Once it's been heated through, add some vanilla, salt, powdered sugar and cashews and thoroughly combine together.
That's it...Except add a bunch of cashews on top of the fudge. So festive looking!
Chill in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Cut into squares and devour!

This is a great recipe! My first time making them. I cut back the powdered sugar to less than half a cup because it just seemed like so much sugar on top of the condensed milk. I know fudge is meant to be really sweet but these turned out amazing even with less sugar.

Can a cashew butter be used instead of peanut butter?

Can a cashew butter be used in place of the peanut butter? (For a serious cashew lover).
