Easy Microwaveable Buckeye Fudge

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.

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. 🙂

Well my love for peanut butter is again on the menu.  I’ve made this the last 2 years whenever I wanted 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.

You should seriously try these ‘Awesome’ Peanut Butter Buckeye Rice Krispies, also representing the Buckeye Vibe. 

More fudge inspiration?  You got it!

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Fudge Layer:

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Chocolate Fudge Layer:

  • 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk 1/2 of a 14 ounce can
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Prepare an 8” or 9” pan greasing with butter or line with parchment paper.

Peanut Butter Fudge Layer:

  • In a microwave bowl, add the peanut butter, butter and vanilla and melt in the microwave for 90 seconds.
  • Stir to combine until smooth and creamy using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
  • Add the powdered sugar a cup at a time and stir to incorporate thoroughly.
  • Transfer mixture to the pan and press into the pan with your hands.

Chocolate Fudge Layer:

  • In a microwave bowl, combine the milk, chocolate chips and butter and heat in the microwave for 90 seconds.
  • Stir to combine using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon and stir until smooth. Heat 15 seconds more if needed. Pour over the peanut butter fudge.
  • Let cool at room temperature at least 4 hours before cutting, or chill in the refrigerator for faster set up time.
  • Cut into bite size servings and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

Set the fudge on the counter and let it warm at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing into bite-size pieces for nice even slices of fudge.  Cutting it cold right out of the fridge; the layers may separate. 🙂
I used an 8" pan and cut in 48 pieces. Fudge was thick, which I prefer, but if you want a thinner fudge, use a 9" pan.

Recipe slightly adapted from Barefoot Kitchen. If you want the stove top method, she has it on the link provided.

    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!😉
