Easy dreamy, rich and decadent Buckeye Fudge you can make in the microwave in a snap! Everyone loves chocolate and peanut butter! It's a win-win! When peanut butter is on the menu, who's instantly hooked? I guarantee this Easy Microwaveable Buckeye Fudge will have you hooked and ready to indulge or inhale!
Peanut butter tastes great right out of the jar (use a spoon please!), in soft and fudgy peanut butter cookies (my fave) and DEFINITELY in this Easy Microwaveable Buckeye Fudge -- for realz!
Seriously....we do know a peanut butter addict when we see one and we have plenty of them in this family to prove it. Peanut butter is a staple in the pantry and it gets ugly when we get down to the last spoonful. Thank goodness that doesn't happen too often. 🙂 We try to keep the cabinet stocked at all times!
Well my love for peanut butter is again on the dessert menu. I've made this the last 2 years. It's perfect whenever I want to make a dessert that was easy to prepare and give as gifts to friends and family or for the holiday party tray of goodies when entertaining.
It's an easy fudge you can make without much complication. It's made in the microwave and we all know the mighty microwave is a miracle of convenience that we love to take advantage of whenever possible.
And lastly, to make this fudge 'Buckeye Official', don't hate me for adding a scrumptious layer of chocolate fudge on top as well. You don't have to add it. But, it's in my second nature to add chocolate to pretty much everything I can get away with.

Kim, growing up 30 miles from Ohio, I seem to be genetically drawn to anything named “buckeye”. Ok maybe because I am a peanut butter and chocolate addict, too! (Hehe) This fudge looks seriously delish, Kim! And so easy it would be a shame to not make it!?
