2 Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge is a long time favorite in our house! Over the years I have made this fudge for bake sales, family get togethers and for just to have around the house for a special treat. Be sure to avoid cream cheese and whipped frostings, the fudge just doesn’t taste the same with those types of canned icings. I have used chocolate icing too, but I really prefer the plain old vanilla.
This fudge is a perfect Christmas gift. I look forward to sharing it with the mail lady, Sunday School teachers, co-workers and anyone who drops in for a visit. Christmas is all about giving. Even if you don’t have lots of money to buy for others as special homemade treat is sure to warm someone’s heart.

I love this recipe! I make it all the time! I have found that the fudge has a much silkier texture if you melt the peanut butter and icing separately, and then mix the two together. I line my glass pan with foil and then just pop out the whole thing to cut into pieces. Thanks for sharing!
I am going to try this with 1/2 PB and 1/2 Nutella.
sounds wonderful
This is exactly what I was thinking when I was reading this recipe. Did you try it using Nutella, and if so how was it?
I haven’t tried it with Nutella. Let me know how it turns out.
This looks so good! I’m going to give it a try.. I have some green frosting…. that may make for a funny color but will be delicious!
Just made this with chocolate icing & peanut butter….plus a few peanut butter chips (about a handful - seems to give it a bit firmer texture). The fudge on the spoon was Good=like a Reeses cup. waiting for it to harden & thinking I might be sorry I made this…it wont last long….my family loves Reeses cups!
Oh my sounds delightful! I love peanut butter cups, too!
I just made some with the chocolate frosting too. Sure looks good. Something easy and fast !!
I bet it’s great!
Can you use organic pb? I never buy the sugary stuff.
I would use any peanut butter you like.
Hey i love your blog! The thing is… I don’t have a microwave (I know it sounds crazy) but, could I just heat the peanut butter and vanilla icing up on the stove top in a sauce pan?
I am sure a stove top would work. Heat just enough to stir together thoroughly. Be careful not to burn. Good luck!
i’d be careful with direct heat, maybe try putting the ingredients in a bowl on top of a sauce pan of boiling water - like you would for melting chocolate. (Don’t let the water touch the bowl though)
i sure wish I had come across your recipe yesterday…
I saw the same recipe on facebook and thought it would be something quick and easy I could do while the rest of the food was cooking… Only problem is, there was no mention of “not” using whipped or sour cream frosting…. Guess what I grabbed because there was no vanilla frosting left on the shelf? Sigh!!
I would have to make it a 3 ingred. fudge because I would have to add some walnuts because what is fudge without nuts…..
Good call!
I’m going to try it this week
Hope it turned out good!
If I keep this in the fridge in a covered container, how long until it goes bad?
I have kept it in the fridge for a week. It usually doesn’t last long in our house!
I used Nutella & Vanilla frosting - Oh My Gosh!! so yummy! not going to last long.
I need to try it!
the only suggestion i have about using Nutella is to microwave it for less time. when we took it out of the microwave after the second minute there was an oily liquid separating. it took lots of stirring to get it mixed back it, not certain we entirely succeeded. it is still delicious.
