My mom used to make this when I was a kid, I hadn't thought about it for years. Now it's about to be Grandpa's Peanut Butter Fudge. Good thing I can return the sugar rushed grandkids to their mother afterward!
Don't you know that when the grandkids are at your house sweets are called "Vegetables"? Then you can say, "Why yes. Yes they ate their vegetables." :)
Honestly if you use all natural peanut butter and artificial sweeteners like erythritol and grass fed butter you could make something that is very very similar without all the diabetes that comes along with powdered sugar. Natural peanut butter and butter is relatively healthy for you in moderate amounts.
@@nomizak Sugar consumption in itself does not increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It's a common misconception. It's being overweight that increases the risk, assuming you already have a genetic predisposition for it. Therefore, eating the sugary version in moderate amounts is also fine.
The recipe I've been using for years has only 4 igredients (sugar, vanilla, milk, peanut butter) and is literally fool proof! I add some marshmallow fluff to it to make it creamier but it's also good without.
@@udhe4421 I'm not sure Chef John would appreciate my sharing another recipe under his video. Just trying to be courteous. However, if you DM me, I'd be happy to give it to you then :)
My grandmother literally made her peanut butter fudge just like this. It was my favorite part of the holidays. Everyone else wanted chocolate but she would always make a separate batch of peanut butter for me.
I’m always here for it, but something about being “the Judge Judy of your fudge duty” is THE best, to me personally. And I’ve watched years and years and years of Chef John’s videos.
I’ve tried several peanut butter fudge recipes, and this is, hands down, the BEST! I sent a platter of it to work with my husband for his coworkers, and they all raved about it for days. Thank you for the awesome recipe!
I used to get goody boxes of lots of lots of Polish cookies for Christmas from my grandma. We'd make "grasshopper" bars but we always bought our fudge from Macinac or a Kilwin's location
Tried to make a peanut butter once, from another recipe... the mixture came out far too dry, couldn't be worked. The genius-me from back then had a flash of insight; "well, the recipe says to use milk, so I'll just add a dash of milk in case I didn't calculate properly from ounces to grams". Welp, turns out, that one dash of milk just ANNIHILATED whatever consistency I might have had and the whole thing just melted to a goop. Never solidified, even after being left overnight. On the other hand, I had 'peanut butter and chocolate fudge spread' for my toast tomorrow. Moral; don't be afraid of mistakes, you might find something really darn tasty even from a failure!
@@ItsJustMe-nq1dg Did you read any of the comments in this thread? No one here complained that there's too much sugar. People discussed the ingredients and whether or not it's surprising that something with those ingredients is tasty and somewhat addictive. Why can't people actually read before commenting...?
A recipe I am actually willing to make, am capable of making, and absolutely love the taste of. How did you manage to time this so perfectly to release on the day I start trying to lose weight.
I made this last night and doubled the recipe. It came out really good. I didn't have the natural peanut butter on hand, so I used the store brand. Thank you for posting.
We have tried to replicate the coconut cake. It was more like a coffee cake in texure and indescribably coconutty and so delicious! It's been so long now, but seems the coconut may have been lightly toasted. We have never been able to find or create that cake. It's worse than the cake left out in the rain.
I love peanut butter fudge, but as a diabetic using about 4 cups of powder sugar is a no no. I make a sugar free version. But I love watching your videos because I always learn something and I just love your humor. Thank you for all you do. Cheers
As an avid Chef John follower I literally shouted to my husband, "Guess who has a recipe for peanutbutter fudge!?" as I was walking into my bathroom. Then I realized that was maybe not the best thing to shout at that time. 😅 Sorry, Chef John. We still love you!
FIRST! And my grandma passed just in February, but her peanut butter fudge was rockin'. Miss her so much, but watching this video made me realize it is the same instructions she gave me as a kid, and I'm happy I wrote everything down!
@@hyggegirlstefx988 appreciate it, I really do. Just gotta remember the good times! She left me several hand written recipe books, and my GF just took a couple turns at her pumpkin roll recipe (literally, that stuff is hard to roll without practice!), so she will always be remembered. I hope you have a great weekend.
@@CS-zh2cs Thank you. I hope you and your girlfriend have a great weekend as well. I bet with a little practice the two of you can have a pumpkin roll ready for the Thanksgiving table. Your beloved grandmother is always with you.💖
I made this exact recipe and it was all you said it would be. Suddenly I'm in demand for every pot luck family (outdoor) gathering we have. And even when I retreat to safety this winter, I'll still be able to make fudge and other goodies to deliver for the kids.
This is excellent fudge. I have made it twice already. If you are using Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter Creamy, I recommend 5 1/2 cups of unsifted powered sugar (instead of 4) because the peanut butter is rather runny (lots of oil). Advanced tip: 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter is the same as 1 jar of peanut butter that is 16 oz or 1 LB by weight (It is great to not have to measure the peanut butter). Tip #2: I buy the half-stick butter so the 1 1/4 of unsalted butter is especially easy to measure.
My grandma was diabetic and showed her love in other ways, but I’m going to stay with grandma’s fudge! She would’ve liked that. I really like the narration! Fun voice that I want to listen to more. LOL I want to make this at Christmas time for friends. Adding it to my mental list. 🥰
Thank you Chef John! I already got a bone in rib roast dry aging for thanksgiving your video reminded me of the holidays too : ) really needed a good peanut butter fudge recipe too!
This is delicious. I've made it several times and given it out as Christmas gifts and treats to coworkers. I'm about to make it right now. It's so easy and quick. Thanks for this recipe.
I just made this today using crunchy peanut butter and chilled it for almost 2 1/2 hrs. I loved it!!!! It is an awesome recipe. I'm going to take some of it and dip it in melted chocolate and see what comes of that. Thank you for this recipe!
Burstburst Cousin? Was there a cigarette dangling out the left side of her mouth? I’m so upset, I can’t believe she made you Bean Casserole?!? All I ever got was the back of her bony little hand.
I made this recipe today using Smuckers Natural peanut butter. It was delicious! My husband requested PB fudge for his upcoming bday, so I wanted to do a dry run first. It's a winner with the entire fam! Thank you so much for sharing. 😋🥜
THIS is the pb fudge I love. I can’t stand when people make the cream cheese style. Fudge should melt on the tongue, be it maple, peanut butter, chocolate, whichever. The creamy fudge drives me nuts.
I recognized your 8x8 glass pan from video's past and wondered how long I've been watching your videos. Almost ten years ! !! Thank you for making me a better cook. :D
I want to add chocolate to this recipe (reese's are my favorite candy) at what point in the recipe would you recommend incorporating chocolate and what adjustments would I have to make? Or should I just treat it like fondue and dip it in chocolate?
Imagine if Jimmy Carter hadn’t sold his peanut farm and made deals with foreign Nations that they only make their peanut butter from his peanuts. AND...then held the G7 on his farm property
Jimmy's peanut farm was managed in a blind trust while he was President. These temporary owners did a really poor job with everything, Jimmy's once profitable farm lost money and nearly bankrupted both the farm and Jimmy.
Imagine if everyone in Congress on both parties took checks to subvert the US government from big peanut butter and promote the destruction of western civilization and build the third temple. A very you know whoish plot
This is actually a part of my family's Christmas tradition that started with my grandmother on my mom's side. Now I've taken up the responsibility of making it every year. 3rd generation fudgie?
my grandmother and aunts used to make fudge after Easter. They would buy left over chocolate easter bunnies and turn them into wonderful fudge....using Fluff...that stuff you use to make peanut butter and fluff sandwiches. I remember that it was very smooth and yummie, they also made peanut butter fudge as well. I'm not big on sweets either, but I think I would like to try this ! Thanks Chef John ! x-)
Unsalted butter to me has a sweeter creamy taste, but besides the slight taste difference, by using unsalted, you can control how much salt is in the total recipe. Many recipes call for salt, but if there is butter or margarine in the recipe as well, I always use unsalted butter :)
Brand new sub and first time comment here. First, you are hilarious. So great to watch a recipe and chuckle at the same time. Second, I believe this is the first fudge recipe that I've ever seen that adds peanut butter and butter to cook and doesnt cook the sugar mixture first. But wow, it looked so easy to do! And third, yes I will be gifting fudge for Christmas so I'll be trying this recipe first, and maybe replacing my own peanut butter fudge recipe! Happy spatulating!
I made this just a few days ago, and wow! This is very very good. Almost too good because I am strongly tempted to eat it all myself. A good thing I'm not the only person in the house. Everyone likes this fudge, by the way. Because my wife prefers crunchy peanut butter, that's what I used, and it was great!

Do you have a chocolate fudge recipe or could this be converted to chocolate?
whyyy cups?!! it's just not specific and only you guys understand the recipe :'c, I would really love if you started using a scale in grams.. please?
Unfortunately, the sugar amount is incorrect. You just end up with dried clumps.
I added Vahlrona Cocoa Powder..and this makes great chocolate fudge with no fail..next I'm going to try with cocoa and coconut!!
Dead link - Nevermind, just the one in the description is.

Oof, that’s mean. Hilarious, but mean.
Don't you know that when the grandkids are at your house sweets are called "Vegetables"? Then you can say, "Why yes. Yes they ate their vegetables." :)
"But there's just something about this I really love and find fairly addicting." That might be the pound of powdered sugar.
To say nothing of the half pound of butter!
Peanut butter + butter + powdered sugar... theres literally only goodness in this
Honestly if you use all natural peanut butter and artificial sweeteners like erythritol and grass fed butter you could make something that is very very similar without all the diabetes that comes along with powdered sugar. Natural peanut butter and butter is relatively healthy for you in moderate amounts.
@@nomizak It's a pity influential people like Chef John don't embrace using alternatives to sugar which is the prime source for the obesity crisis.

This is the only fudge recipe that doesn't use sweetened condensed milk I found on the internet
This gives me joy
Well if you're selling it to people you want to bulk it out a bit.
The recipe I've been using for years has only 4 igredients (sugar, vanilla, milk, peanut butter) and is literally fool proof! I add some marshmallow fluff to it to make it creamier but it's also good without.

So sorry...my granny loved her pbr.. but she still made us peanutbutter fudge... and this wasnt the recipe .sorry chef
The "perfect" cube shape is never how my grandma made fudge. It was always just random sized rectangles and sometimes a messed up triangle.
That would be great as the filling for peanut butter cups!
Yes!!
I am *so* excited for this. Fudge is like eating happiness.
You're easy. HaHa!
The same way that vodka is like drinking happiness. 🍸

You are, after all, the Hugo Boss, of your dipping sauce.

Mmmmmmm warm butterscotch sauce!!!
That would be similar to candy my family makes called buckeyes. Sort of like a peanut butter cup, but in ball form.
instead of a dipping sauce, you could drizzle melted dark chocolate "lightly" (who am i kidding?) over the whole pan.
Very delicious recipe! I will try it someday 😋😋

Got to get it in there! Just seems like something's missing. Shhh. Don't tell Chef John I said that.

Coeur Noir: I hope you get to make this and it tastes just like you remembered. Food memories are so powerful.
roll each of those squares into balls and dip each most of the way into dark chocolate and call them buckeyes 😁
That's funny bc my grandmother made Buckeyes and I was just about to look for the recipe hahaha
And maybe mix in something like crushed crispy rice cereal to give those buckeyes a little crunch. Now we’re talking. :)

Imagine if Jimmy Carter hadn’t sold his peanut farm and made deals with foreign Nations that they only make their peanut butter from his peanuts.

Jimmy's peanut farm was managed in a blind trust while he was President. These temporary owners did a really poor job with everything, Jimmy's once profitable farm lost money and nearly bankrupted both the farm and Jimmy.
Imagine if, instead of a Rockefeller stooge, we had a better President in the late 1970s, like Mr. Peanut.

Heart stopping stuff.
Yep. All that sugar will do it.
Me, a sick freak: "I wanna make this but add bacon to it."
Actually, I bet some finely chopped candied bacon would work quite well, with a similar texture to nuts.
And......?
Peanut butter and bacon is a great combo.
idk man, some brown sugar bacon might be really good with these
I would think a maple-based version would be even better with bacon.
Instantly saw it and wanted to make it.
"not my grandma, but somebody's grandma"
