My family has made fudge like this for years but we essentially pick a chocolate chip of choice and pick a frosting of choice... combine and you get some interesting combinations. I highly suggest chocolate frosting with butterscotch chips.
My Mom’s peanut butter fudge recipe was just peanut butter and white almond bark. People asked for it every year. I might have to make it this year in her memory!
I make it with a tin of condensed milk and white, milk or dark chocolate chips. As we now also have peanut butter flavoured chips in Australia I have also made it them. Simple melt a packet of chocolate chips and add a can of condensed milk.
@@selinaoakley3613white almond bark is similar to white chocolate or white chocolate candy melts. If you use these add about a teaspoonful of butter for fat. Melted marshmallows can be substituted also-I believe, it’ll just be stickier although just as delicious.
My husband will eat frosting straight from the jar. He'll be 30 next year but I still find it so cute when he sits there with a spoonful and a glass of milk.
I have made fudge with marshmallow fluff and condensed milk and cooked sugars, almost any fudge is a miraculous food. You have given me two magic recipes.
That's the one I did. Not Fluff because I've never seen that brand. But marshmallow creme has Fantasy Fudge recipe on the label. Had more ingredients and labor intensive
I'm allergic to peanuts so I tried this with sunbutter and it turned out SO good! Used a can of vanilla frosting. It seems slightly softer but it holds up fine in the fridge.
I first learned this recepie from Tami Dunn's channel, been making it this way ever since, super creamy with no sugary grit. Substitute lotus biscoff cookie spread for a really tasty fudge
We make the kind with icing every year. I prefer the crumbly texture over the denser versions of fudge because it doesn't stick to my teeth as much. But it's nice because it's still not dry like some fudges I've eaten in the past. It's really good with chocolate icing too. And like you said, it's not sickenly sweet so you can eat a little bit more than you can with some other fudges. Sometimes, I leave about 1-2 tablespoons of icing behind and it's even better (in my opinion). It does change the texture, but I really like how it cuts back on the sweetness and lets the peanut butter shine.
The peanut butter and vanilla frosting works well. I made five kinds of fudge for family Thanksgiving a couple weeks ago. One was plain creay peanut butter, the other i used crunchy peanut butter and dusted it with crushed peanut powder, both were hits. The remaining types were a separate 2 ingredient recipe, using chocholate chips, and sweetened condensed milk. One can of the condensed milk in a big bowl, and toss one bag of chocolate chips, then put in the microwave for 30 second intervals, andstir in between until incorporated. I made three types, all in which i added some vanilla extract. One was milk chocolate which after chilled and cubed was tossed in cocoa powder. One was dark chocolate which i also added rum extract to, along with chopped walnuts and chopped dried cherries (i called it black forest fudge). And one was using white chocolate chips, and i added peppermint extract to. I also separated about a quarter cup aside and also added red food coloring to, and did feathered swirls on the top of before chilling. There are lots of fun combinations. I almost did a white chocolate and cranberry one. I wanted to make a double batch in an large tin, with chocolate fudge on the bottom, and peanut butter on top. Because of how easy the two ingredient recipes are, and how quick, it allows for a huge array of options. Next, i may make a milk chocolate one, add cinnamon, clove, cardamom and other seasonal spices, along with ginger (both powdered, and chunks of candied ginger) as it will then taste like german gingerbread. Chai spices in chocolate do that. Let me know if you try any new options, or like mine. Happy holidays
When my daughters were pre-teens, I had made a cake and grabbed a can of frosting from the pantry..only to find it had been opened and partially eaten. Unfortunately the other 2 cans were in the same condition! So we all learned about refrigerate after opening, reasons not to eat frosting alone, lying, etc!
Yummy. I love peanut butter 'fudge'. I've never made it this way. I made Alton's Brown's peanut butter 'fudge' yesterday. 4 ingredients. And, all you have to do is melt the butter in the microwave.
I just watched his video on that the other day. Does it have a good peanut butter flavor or is it more subdued with more of just a sweet taste? I'm a pb fanatic and want a good peanut butter flavor in my fudge
@@lissajedi It's delicious. You want a very good PB with bold flavors. We use JIF. It has the most deep roasted peanut flavor, IMO. If you make this, try it warm. It will melt in your mouth. I think heat brings out that roasted peanut flavor even more. I do add a bit more PB than the recipe calls for.
Oh, yes. It's delicious. I do this with chocolate chips, too. Sometimes, I add chopped Andes mints or York peppermint patties to the mix or sprinkle them with crushed peppermint candy canes. This year, I'm going to sprinkle the chocolate fudge with chocolate/mint candy canes. IMO, you can never have too much chocolate. I'm a chocoholic. Sometimes, I stir chopped peanut butter cups in my PB fudge and/or top them with dark chocolate chips or Reese's Pieces. I could go on and on with different variations. Yeah, you can really tell I'm not much for desserts. 😉😂
I have done this for years. You can make it with chocolate icing also. We have come up with different variations over the years by using white chocolate chips instead of peanut butter. It makes a basic white fudge, just add flavoring of your choice (mint, orange, etc.).
WOW! My mind is blown that this is possible. I was ready to watch some specific boiling temperatures, candy thermometers, confectioner sugar down the front of me and a mixer. I must try this! Thanks so much for this video!!
I'm really tempted to try the frosting recipe but use chocolate frosting to make chocolate peanut butter fudge. Even if it's not that great it's not going to be bad. When I make fudge I usually use the Hershey's cocoa recipe that used to be on the cans. I even make Penuche fudge with that recipe by replacing one cup of white sugar with a cup of dark brown sugar and eliminating the cocoa powder. It's comes out great but this recipe isn't for beginners. It takes practice to know when it's about to set up so you have time to get it in the pan before it solidifies which happens quickly.
My grandmother used to make this every thanksgiving and Christmas and I loved them I haven’t had one that tasted as good as hers in 12 years until I followed this recipe and it made me cry because I had a lot of memories coming back
Peanut butter frosting on a butter recipe cake is heavenly. I put chocolate chips in my PB frosting sometimes. 😋 We only use JIF. The flavor of the PB makes a difference. JIF has a deep roasted peanut flavor you can smell a mile away. And, warm PB? Chef's kiss.
We did this with chocolate frosting and peanut butter. I did it from memory watching this months ago. It was really wonderful, easy and smooth. Thanks Emmy!!!
I made fudge for cookies with chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. I had a ton left over and poured it into a shallow Pyrex thing. Such good fudge! Now I want to do it with every flavor of chips! 🫠
If you enjoy fudge, this *60-second* recipe might be right for you. At your local grocery store, in the Mexican food section, pirchase Coronado's *Cajeta de quemada* and then some non-sweetened peanut butter. Mix equal parts in a bowl, stirring for 60 seconds (it will get stiff). Perfect fudge! No heating required. *NOTE* make sure that the caramel is made with *goat's* milk and not cow's milk. After the magic *_Fudgematic_* reaction, I like to take small scoops, roll them into a ball and then coat with a very light coating of finely ground instant coffee (optional)
@@eolrn proportions are not critical, but I use a 1 to 1 ratio. I "discovered" this recipe when I was looking for a little bit "extra" for my late night snack of vanilla ice cream. I only had a tiny bit of Nutells left over and a tiny bit of cajeta. So...what's a guy to do? I mixed them together and ended up with a delicious fudge, instead of a pourable topping. Why this scientific magic happens, I haven't a clue. I've contacted both companies for insight, to no avail. I've contacted food geek, Alton Browm, and received no reply. My *GUESS* is that the protein in goat's milk is different and when it comes in contact with another protein it becomes intertwined and causes this [very tasty] reaction. The bonus pf this "recipe" is that you can make a single serving to cure that craving. Also...try it with chocolate topping and cajeta. I've even tried it with my homemade cashew butter. It just works!
@@emmymade Here's something you should research and try. My neighbors I grew up with were from Pennsylvania in an Amish county and always drove the kids crazy around the neighborhood. The mother would make cider vinegar taffy all the time and it was so good. I had the recipe years ago but haven't seen it in about 20. I've asked her daughter if she can find it again but it's been months and she still hasn't found it either. All I can remember is sugar and vinegar boiled to hard crack then pulled til turned to taffy and hardened and broken into small pieces like peanut brittle.
Good Morning Found your video last weekend ..Made it on Sunday and brought it with me for Xmas dinner desert. My daughter loves it. She’s very gluten intolerant and since both the Peanut Butter and frosting gluten free was safe for her.. very easy to make . Kept in fridge until ready to serve. Not too too sweet, and since she LOVES PEANUT BUTTER..WAS A NO BRAINER. My grandson loves it too. Thank you so much
The frosting and peanut butter is an older scouting recipe. Used for after meeting snacks. I make one with sugar free dark chocalate pieces and sugar free peanut butter as I am diabetic.
The two ingredient fudge I always make is baking chips (chocolate, peanut butter, mint, white chocolate… etc any flavor will work) and sweetened condensed milk. I’ve tried all sorts of flavors of the chips and I haven’t found one that hasn’t worked. I always used the real chocolate and white chocolate ones. Not compound chocolate.
Mom always made a great snack after she frosted her cakes with homemade frosting, she always took or made a little extra and smeared it between 2 gramcrackers .
Hey Emmy, I was intrigued by the peanut butter and icing fudge, so I tried it today. I've never made it that way, so I thought what the heck. I done a little twist on the recipe though. I used cream cheese icing (just because that's what I had in the cupboard). I also added about a cup of powdered sugar just to thicken it up a little. It turned out fantastic. It is nice and creamy, and has a good consistency. And oooh the peanut butter flavor.....❤️ Thanks for the recipe. Love your channel.
I did enjoy it, you get right to the projects, explain and demonstrate everything clearly and simply, then try the products and give your opinions and reasoning. Very well done.
I wonder if you did a combination of all three - frosting, peanut butter, and the candy melts - if you’d get the best of all worlds: the peanut butter flavor and the smooth texture.
i recently made pb and chocolate fudge. the pb fudge was made with pb and icing. the chocolate i made with icing and melted chocolate chips. the chocolate chips were the firmer of the two and leaving the pb/icing fudge will make it extremely soft. if you like your fudge almost spoonable, leave it out.
My guess is that the peanut butter thickened because it reacted with some acidic ingredient in the frosting. Nut and seed butters "seize" with exposure to acids, that's why tahini dressings need to be thinned with water after using lime or vinegar.
I made the peanut butter frosting fudge for my hubby’s birthday. I used chocolate frosting and it turned out awesome!! Thanks for the fun and super easy recipe!! Blessings 🌸
Made this for the office and it was such a hit! Everybody was asking for the recipe! Will be making this again for sure when family come for Christmas supper 😀
I have used white chocolate chips with lemon frosting, strawberry frosting, and blue raspberry frosting. Don't use bark. It is too oily. Nestle's is good, Guittard or Ghirardelli is better. This style of fudge does dry out and crumble quickly. Chips and sweetened condensed milk fudge is creamier.
I have made this fudge this way for years!! I went to a choir dinner after a program, was given this recipe, most wonderful easy recipe!! You can even leave it room temp and it is just grand!!!
Hi ! I m a retired man how has time to cook and i loe eating sweet snacks ! No better than homemade ! I love Peanut butter so i might try it soon ! As a long distance trucker in Canada for 35 years, i ve had tried many things for snack and the best i had was homemade brownies at a truck-stop in Napanee, Ontario ! Unfortunatly, one day there wasn t anymore. I was so sad ! lol 😋
I wonder how both of these would hold up sitting at room temp for an extended period of time? As for texture, could you use half frosting, half bark/chocolate to get a middle ground of the benefits of both? Cound be interesting to experiment with! (As well as other types of chocolate, different mix ins, etc). I wonder if you could use other kinds of nut butter, too? Almond butter and dark chocolate would be very yummy!
I make my fudge with with chocolate chips (semisweet) and frosting. I’ve tried different types of frosting too! They’re quite yummy! If you like coconut, the pecan and coconut frosting is great with semisweet chocolate chips!! Thank you for sharing!!
We make something called ''sucre a la crème'' here in Quebec, it's a staple in my family during xmas time 🤤. It's basically brown sugar, white sugar & creme the becomes fudgy!
I use the cream cheese frosting and a jar of 18 oz peanut butter, never take any home from a gathering. Also: you can use the fudge as a filling between two butter cookies.
Your background and instruction blend so well. So thorough! You are very methodical and the time passes quickly. Adept at confusing and involved things that need simplified. Remembering the pine needle Sprite! One question...can you make something so saturated in calories without the massive calorie count but still is eatable as the original? Swerve sugar replacement or a stevia replacement? Way too many calories at the holidays. Once people discover ingredients and how made it has a tendency to pause for a common sense check. Like a cookbook entitled: "How To Be A Glutton And still Survive." Can you do it?
Great video as always Emmy! My Mom taught me how to make the peanutbutter version. If you want to take this to the next level combine almond butter & frosting or ANY nut butter, pistachio butter fudge was my favorite and almost as good as cookie butter fudge (trader joe's speculoos cookie butter). Have fun and enjoy making these if you have time, it's worth it.
My mom had always had us use the Alton Brown Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge, and it is so awesome! Maybe i can add these to the list. If anyone is curious, i highly recommend the Alton Brown recipe, I have made it for almost 15 years now!
i like the frosting version better too. might try 33% chocolate peanut butter 33% regular peanut butter and 34% frosting. it might make a reece's peanut butter cup fudge. i will try to make that. thank you for the video.
Thank you for this video. I was worried about what to cook for a potluck coming up and I don’t have many ways to cook since I don’t have an oven or air fryer. I’m definitely gonna make this now since it’s so easy and within my limits.
Peanut butter seizes like chocolate does when you add water to it. You get the same effect, for example, by adding honey to it. That’s why the first fudge started to solidify!
When I'm craving candy and have none in the house I mix a little bit of peanut butter with honey, maple syrup, pancake syrup or Karo syrup and I have a little bit of something very similar to peanut butter fudge in a flash. I only make enough to equal about a 2 inch square of fudge. I learned to do that by stirring some honey into my peanut butter for a less messy honey and peanut butter sandwich one day and was surprised when the peanut butter sized right up, it was not heated was right out of the jar.
I've been making this fudge for about 15 years. It's an excellent fudge and super quick and easy. No one could ever believe the recipe after trying it.
omg... one time late at night i mixed the same peanut butter and same betty crocker vanilla frosting and was like "i need to do something with this" I CAN MAKE FUDGE!!! THANK YOU EMMY
I make this fudge every Christmas. You can also melt a package of semisweet chocolate chips and a can of white frosting and mix them together and it makes chocolate fudge.
The peanut butter/white chocolate mixture js my base for making Avalanche bark. I add mini chocolate chips, rice crispies, and mini marshmallows. The texture of the fudge is a perfect contrast for those ingredients.
My mom always made it the old fashioned way…on the stove with a large glass of water to test the tempering. Always added peanut butter! My favorite part was adding the vanilla to the hot mixture on the stove and seeing that sizzling and bubbling😋😋😋
I love this, thank you! I’ve always made peanut butter fudge by mixing peanut butter, powdered sugar and melted butter, but now I want to dry one of your recipes
Emmy, you could try using a bag of those Andes Mint Chips with some of that super whipped fluffy vanilla frosting. I know this video was based on Peanut Butter Fudge, but I just wanted to share this with you, all depends if you're a mint fanatic like some of us are. I actually make this fudge after I've make a batch of mint chocolate chip cookies, I just let the cookies cool down to room temp before you dip the entire cookie in this fudge and put them on parchment paper to firm up in your freezer, and leave them in there for awhile, the mint taste with the cold is quite awesome might I add.. It's basically a double mint chocolate chip fudge coated cookie.. The fudge will coat about 12 decently 2 1/2" sized cookies if you go this route. I got this idea when I ate some of those chocolate covered Milano cookies with a York Peppermint Pattie sandwiched between them, I know super ghetto cookie sandwich, but I wanted chocolate cookies with mint and all of the mint Milano cookies were sold out.. and was like.. I want mint fudge cookies! So I went down this rabbit hole with 10 minute fudge and mint chocolate chip cookies.. it's a simple idea but I got want I wanted and more out of this.
I've been making peanut butter fudge with sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter chips for a few years now. I'll have to try these and see if they are better.
My grandmother always used the frosting method when we made Christmas goodies. If im not mistaken she may have used it in her buckeyes or "peanutbutter balls" too.
I love the waxy, melt-away kind of fudge best, but not picky either way! i wonder what it would be like if you marbled in a thin drizzle of chocolate through it? be half soft and solid, nice contrast in textures, mmmm! Keep smiling, cheers
I’m always skeptical of these "simple" recipes, but that frosting fudge looks like it might be close to what I consider fudge. I like fudge that has that crumbly texture. It’s hard to get the right texture without a cooked-sugar base, but that’s a major project. Having a simpler version might come in handy.
I wonder if you tried combining the 2 recipes together how it would come out. 1/2 frosting, 1/2 white chocolate melt with the peanut butter. Maybe I'll have to give it a go and see.
I make peanut butter balls, every so often. It’s a container of sweet and condensed milk, chocolate chips whole package, and a container of peanut butter. Somehow or the other the peanut butter and the sweetened condensed milk end up thick, and then you form them into balls. Chill, and that’s it.
Fudge is a weird thing. I've eaten it, but I've never made it before. Also, I've never wanted to make it because it was always too sweet. But, peanut butter fudge sounds like something I'd enjoy eating because it wouldn't be too sweet. I think I'll give this a go 😃
It is still very sweet. Years ago I made peanut butter fudge using melted butter, confectioner sugar, and peanut butter; that was sweet enough, but still good. Now peanut butter and store-bought frosting? I can't even imagine. Maybe natural peanut butter with no sugar added?
It's definitely still going to be sweet especially if you use this recipe. If you want something less sweet you would have to make dark chocolate fudge.
@@nunyabeeswax256 I have a jar of natural peanut butter that I’m thinking of trying to make a fudge with, icing is ready. Sweet or not, it won’t go to waste. 😁
If you find the smoother mouthfeel of the quick fudges off-putting, adding 1-2 tbl spoons of the appropriate instant pudding mix gives them a more fudge-like consistency. For the frosting one, I'd remove 1-2 tbl spoons of frosting and replace it with 1-2 tbl spoons of instant vanilla pudding mix. It "ruins" the 2 ingredient aspect, but gives a better end result.
Chocolate icing and peanut butter is good. Another good combination is cream cheese icing and peanut butter. I make this fudge every year at christmas to give away and people always love it!
Emmy I just found your channel its so great and I love your style. Looking forward to viewing some older videos as well. Super-cool and just in time for Christmas! Keeping it homemade but easy! 👍🏻👍🏻
In argentina we have a candy called "Bocadito Marroc" or just "Marroc", it's like the second recipie but a layer with dark chocolate&PB- w/white choco&PB- dark choco&PB it's so yummy Also for peanuts lovers out there: MANTECOL (peanut halva), it's a (in my opinion) must have around christmas and new year's eve
peanut butter balls - my grandma makes those and we always called them buckeyes! she also makes fudge and i was shook when i asked her for the recipe and she said “it’s the one on the fluff container!” not sure if she uses the same recipe for her peanut butter fudge, but i might need to whip up a batch of one of these to get my fix!
Thanks for all the wonderful videos/recipes. Did I miss something? Can you please tell me how much chocolate to the jar a peanut butter you used? Thank you.
This also works really well with almond butter or cookie butter with the canned frosting. You can also use chocolate frosting but I find that version overly sweet. It works great everytime though.
I just love this corner of the internet so much. Just fun, extremely relaxing, happy, educational, chill vibes. Thank you sooo much for being so consistent on your schedule and just bringing interesting content. You’re the best, Happy Holidays! 🩵😌

Why this scientific magic happens, I haven't a clue. I've contacted both companies for insight, to no avail. I've contacted food geek, Alton Browm, and received no reply. My *GUESS* is that the protein in goat's milk is different and when it comes in contact with another protein it becomes intertwined and causes this [very tasty] reaction. The bonus pf this "recipe" is that you can make a single serving to cure that craving. Also...try it with chocolate topping and cajeta. I've even tried it with my homemade cashew butter. It just works!
@@eolrn oh they said equal parts so it doesnt matter how much of it you use as long as you use the same amount of peanut butter
How does the frosting one look after it's sat out and is room temp? Does it hold up and stay firm or does it turn to mush?
It holds up just great, but it's also winter here. I imagine in the summer it would be much softer.
@@emmymade Here's something you should research and try. My neighbors I grew up with were from Pennsylvania in an Amish county and always drove the kids crazy around the neighborhood. The mother would make cider vinegar taffy all the time and it was so good. I had the recipe years ago but haven't seen it in about 20. I've asked her daughter if she can find it again but it's been months and she still hasn't found it either. All I can remember is sugar and vinegar boiled to hard crack then pulled til turned to taffy and hardened and broken into small pieces like peanut brittle.
Im so surprised the frosting and peanut butter firmed up. It was like magic!
It was the refrigerator.
I’ve been making it with frosting for years, but I keep it in the fridge and take out as needed. So delicious!
Love to hear her talk. Such a wonderfully soothing voice. She always has some great recipes. I’ve seen this one before, but fun to watch her.
Good Morning
Found your video last weekend ..Made it on Sunday and brought it with me for Xmas dinner desert. My daughter loves it. She’s very gluten intolerant and since both the Peanut Butter and frosting gluten free was safe for her.. very easy to make . Kept in fridge until ready to serve. Not too too sweet, and since she LOVES PEANUT BUTTER..WAS A NO BRAINER. My grandson loves it too. Thank you so much
The frosting and peanut butter is an older scouting recipe. Used for after meeting snacks. I make one with sugar free dark chocalate pieces and sugar free peanut butter as I am diabetic.
The two ingredient fudge I always make is baking chips (chocolate, peanut butter, mint, white chocolate… etc any flavor will work) and sweetened condensed milk. I’ve tried all sorts of flavors of the chips and I haven’t found one that hasn’t worked. I always used the real chocolate and white chocolate ones. Not compound chocolate.
Have you ever used the butterscotch chips
I’ve done the butterscotch chips before, oh yum!
@@carriehassell884If you layer the butterscotch and some white chocolate, it makes a variation on Butterbeer fudge. 👍
Mom always made a great snack after she frosted her cakes with homemade frosting, she always took or made a little extra and smeared it between 2 gramcrackers .
Hey Emmy, I was intrigued by the peanut butter and icing fudge, so I tried it today. I've never made it that way, so I thought what the heck. I done a little twist on the recipe though. I used cream cheese icing (just because that's what I had in the cupboard). I also added about a cup of powdered sugar just to thicken it up a little. It turned out fantastic. It is nice and creamy, and has a good consistency. And oooh the peanut butter flavor.....❤️
Thanks for the recipe. Love your channel.
I did enjoy it, you get right to the projects, explain and demonstrate everything clearly and simply, then try the products and give your opinions and reasoning. Very well done.
I wonder if you did a combination of all three - frosting, peanut butter, and the candy melts - if you’d get the best of all worlds: the peanut butter flavor and the smooth texture.
I'm really appreciating this sort of quick candy series you are doing right now! It's great for the holidays.
i recently made pb and chocolate fudge. the pb fudge was made with pb and icing. the chocolate i made with icing and melted chocolate chips. the chocolate chips were the firmer of the two and leaving the pb/icing fudge will make it extremely soft. if you like your fudge almost spoonable, leave it out.
My guess is that the peanut butter thickened because it reacted with some acidic ingredient in the frosting. Nut and seed butters "seize" with exposure to acids, that's why tahini dressings need to be thinned with water after using lime or vinegar.
I made the peanut butter frosting fudge for my hubby’s birthday. I used chocolate frosting and it turned out awesome!! Thanks for the fun and super easy recipe!! Blessings 🌸
I've developed a huge addiction to making and eating pumpkin caramel. Now I have a new pleasure to try!
Thanks for sharing!
Pumpkin caramel?! Please explain!
Is it just caramel with pumpkin pie spice, or actual pumpkin added in?
@@CallieMasters5000 ruclips.net/video/kV8iGJURil8/видео.htmlsi=e_KqgtPO8v6TGTcR
Thank me later. : )
Yes please explain. Pumpkin and caramel?
@@recoveringsoul755 check out my previous comment for details.
That sounds so good.
I've drizzled caramel over a pumpkin cheesecake then sprinkled on roasted pecans, but I've never made pumpkin caramel.
Alton Brown has a good one too: peanut butter, confectioners sugar, butter and vanilla. (If you don't have candy melt or frosting on hand)
Made this for the office and it was such a hit! Everybody was asking for the recipe! Will be making this again for sure when family come for Christmas supper 😀
I’d love to see this again with different flavors of icing and chocolate. Maybe even with Nutella!
Endless possibilities
Was thinking of just that!
I found one recipe where you mix melted chocolate chips with peanut butter then add marshmallows and pour it in a pan to set, it's delicious.
If you try it with Nutella, make sure either the jar I glass or you move it to a bowl for warming. Plastic Nutella jars melt I the microwave FAST
I have used white chocolate chips with lemon frosting, strawberry frosting, and blue raspberry frosting. Don't use bark. It is too oily. Nestle's is good, Guittard or Ghirardelli is better. This style of fudge does dry out and crumble quickly. Chips and sweetened condensed milk fudge is creamier.
I have made this fudge this way for years!! I went to a choir dinner after a program, was given this recipe, most wonderful easy recipe!! You can even leave it room temp and it is just grand!!!
Hi ! I m a retired man how has time to cook and i loe eating sweet snacks ! No better than homemade ! I love Peanut butter so i might try it soon ! As a long distance trucker in Canada for 35 years, i ve had tried many things for snack and the best i had was homemade brownies at a truck-stop in Napanee, Ontario ! Unfortunatly, one day there wasn t anymore. I was so sad ! lol 😋
ive made the frosting one for years and after i mix it well, i then zap it in the microwave, then pour into pan for a smoother top
I wonder how both of these would hold up sitting at room temp for an extended period of time? As for texture, could you use half frosting, half bark/chocolate to get a middle ground of the benefits of both? Cound be interesting to experiment with! (As well as other types of chocolate, different mix ins, etc). I wonder if you could use other kinds of nut butter, too? Almond butter and dark chocolate would be very yummy!
I make my fudge with with chocolate chips (semisweet) and frosting. I’ve tried different types of frosting too! They’re quite yummy! If you like coconut, the pecan and coconut frosting is great with semisweet chocolate chips!! Thank you for sharing!!
We make something called ''sucre a la crème'' here in Quebec, it's a staple in my family during xmas time 🤤.
It's basically brown sugar, white sugar & creme the becomes fudgy!
I use the cream cheese frosting and a jar of 18 oz peanut butter, never take any home from a gathering. Also: you can use the fudge as a filling between two butter cookies.
Chocolate frosting should make chocolate fudge
Your background and instruction blend so well. So thorough! You are very methodical and the time passes quickly. Adept at confusing and involved things that need simplified. Remembering the pine needle Sprite! One question...can you make something so saturated in calories without the massive calorie count but still is eatable as the original? Swerve sugar replacement or a stevia replacement? Way too many calories at the holidays. Once people discover ingredients and how made it has a tendency to pause for a common sense check. Like a cookbook entitled: "How To Be A Glutton And still Survive." Can you do it?
Great video as always Emmy! My Mom taught me how to make the peanutbutter version. If you want to take this to the next level combine almond butter & frosting or ANY nut butter, pistachio butter fudge was my favorite and almost as good as cookie butter fudge (trader joe's speculoos cookie butter). Have fun and enjoy making these if you have time, it's worth it.
My mom had always had us use the Alton Brown Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge, and it is so awesome! Maybe i can add these to the list. If anyone is curious, i highly recommend the Alton Brown recipe, I have made it for almost 15 years now!
i like the frosting version better too. might try 33% chocolate peanut butter 33% regular peanut butter and 34% frosting. it might make a reece's peanut butter cup fudge. i will try to make that. thank you for the video.
Thank you for this video. I was worried about what to cook for a potluck coming up and I don’t have many ways to cook since I don’t have an oven or air fryer. I’m definitely gonna make this now since it’s so easy and within my limits.
Peanut butter seizes like chocolate does when you add water to it. You get the same effect, for example, by adding honey to it. That’s why the first fudge started to solidify!
yuup, everytime I add soy sauce to natural peanut butter to make a dip it always goes from pourable/liquid to nearly solid
@@Sabrina-sx9flyou need to add more water until it becomes smooth again. It happens with tahini too.
When I'm craving candy and have none in the house I mix a little bit of peanut butter with honey, maple syrup, pancake syrup or Karo syrup and I have a little bit of something very similar to peanut butter fudge in a flash. I only make enough to equal about a 2 inch square of fudge. I learned to do that by stirring some honey into my peanut butter for a less messy honey and peanut butter sandwich one day and was surprised when the peanut butter sized right up, it was not heated was right out of the jar.
I've been making this fudge for about 15 years. It's an excellent fudge and super quick and easy. No one could ever believe the recipe after trying it.
You can also use chocolate frosting instead for a different flavor.
omg... one time late at night i mixed the same peanut butter and same betty crocker vanilla frosting and was like "i need to do something with this" I CAN MAKE FUDGE!!! THANK YOU EMMY
Biscoff cookie butter/ spekulos spread and frosting sounds amazing!!
Since I had the ingredients, just made some. Instead of vanilla frosting, I used chocolate frosting. Can’t wait to taste it.
Let us know how it was 😊!
How did you like it ?
How was it??
I make this fudge every Christmas. You can also melt a package of semisweet chocolate chips and a can of white frosting and mix them together and it makes chocolate fudge.
Thank you for making such interesting videos every time. I really would like to see another MRE vedio it's been long time
Oh my goodness. I just made the frosting version for work tomorrow and I licked that spatula clean. Really looking forward to sharing it.
The peanut butter/white chocolate mixture js my base for making Avalanche bark. I add mini chocolate chips, rice crispies, and mini marshmallows. The texture of the fudge is a perfect contrast for those ingredients.
My mom always made it the old fashioned way…on the stove with a large glass of water to test the tempering. Always added peanut butter!
My favorite part was adding the vanilla to the hot mixture on the stove and seeing that sizzling and bubbling😋😋😋
My mom made chocolate peanut butter fudge the old fashioned way. So good. It was a recipe from her dad.
Was very interesting to see you make this fudge. Your interpretation so elegant. You are a great speaker. Thank you very much.
I’m definitely making this. I might do a combo of frosting and almond bark for the perfect balance of peanut buttery-ness and smoothness! 😁
You've got the best voice for a home with emmy show. 😊 I will try both.
Awesome video as always thanks for sharing your great 👍 love your recipes made simple you are the Best. 😮😮😮😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊
Emmy is queen mother of cooking videos on RUclips. I always come back to her comforting videos!
I love this, thank you! I’ve always made peanut butter fudge by mixing peanut butter, powdered sugar and melted butter, but now I want to dry one of your recipes
Emmy, you could try using a bag of those Andes Mint Chips with some of that super whipped fluffy vanilla frosting. I know this video was based on Peanut Butter Fudge, but I just wanted to share this with you, all depends if you're a mint fanatic like some of us are. I actually make this fudge after I've make a batch of mint chocolate chip cookies, I just let the cookies cool down to room temp before you dip the entire cookie in this fudge and put them on parchment paper to firm up in your freezer, and leave them in there for awhile, the mint taste with the cold is quite awesome might I add.. It's basically a double mint chocolate chip fudge coated cookie.. The fudge will coat about 12 decently 2 1/2" sized cookies if you go this route. I got this idea when I ate some of those chocolate covered Milano cookies with a York Peppermint Pattie sandwiched between them, I know super ghetto cookie sandwich, but I wanted chocolate cookies with mint and all of the mint Milano cookies were sold out.. and was like.. I want mint fudge cookies! So I went down this rabbit hole with 10 minute fudge and mint chocolate chip cookies.. it's a simple idea but I got want I wanted and more out of this.
I've been making peanut butter fudge with sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter chips for a few years now. I'll have to try these and see if they are better.
My grandmother always used the frosting method when we made Christmas goodies. If im not mistaken she may have used it in her buckeyes or "peanutbutter balls" too.
Yum, thank you for sharing this! That's so easy I have *no* excuse to not do it. I wonder how it would be with chocolate frosting?
I bet you'd get something that tasted like a peanut butter cup.
I love the waxy, melt-away kind of fudge best, but not picky either way! i wonder what it would be like if you marbled in a thin drizzle of chocolate through it? be half soft and solid, nice contrast in textures, mmmm! Keep smiling, cheers
This description sounds a lot like tiger butter, which I LOVE.
Amazing so easy to follow, thanks as always
I’m always skeptical of these "simple" recipes, but that frosting fudge looks like it might be close to what I consider fudge. I like fudge that has that crumbly texture. It’s hard to get the right texture without a cooked-sugar base, but that’s a major project. Having a simpler version might come in handy.
I wonder if you tried combining the 2 recipes together how it would come out. 1/2 frosting, 1/2 white chocolate melt with the peanut butter. Maybe I'll have to give it a go and see.
The first type of fudge is "frangible" (easily broken without being crystalline) while the second one is "vitreous" (can flow but not break).
I used Peanut and Co’s White Chocolate peanut butter and Pillsbury Caramel icing and it is FABULOUS!! 💖💖💖
I make peanut butter balls, every so often. It’s a container of sweet and condensed milk, chocolate chips whole package, and a container of peanut butter. Somehow or the other the peanut butter and the sweetened condensed milk end up thick, and then you form them into balls. Chill, and that’s it.
Could you use a different flavor of frosting or would it have to be vanilla?
All looks so yummy. Thanks for sharing.
Fudge is a weird thing. I've eaten it, but I've never made it before. Also, I've never wanted to make it because it was always too sweet. But, peanut butter fudge sounds like something I'd enjoy eating because it wouldn't be too sweet. I think I'll give this a go 😃
Same
Peanut butter sounds like a quick protein snack without being too sweet.
It is still very sweet. Years ago I made peanut butter fudge using melted butter, confectioner sugar, and peanut butter; that was sweet enough, but still good. Now peanut butter and store-bought frosting? I can't even imagine. Maybe natural peanut butter with no sugar added?
It's definitely still going to be sweet especially if you use this recipe. If you want something less sweet you would have to make dark chocolate fudge.
@@nunyabeeswax256 I have a jar of natural peanut butter that I’m thinking of trying to make a fudge with, icing is ready. Sweet or not, it won’t go to waste. 😁
Awesome video! I'm so trying these😊
Love you Emmy, hope you and the family have a great holiday!
If you find the smoother mouthfeel of the quick fudges off-putting, adding 1-2 tbl spoons of the appropriate instant pudding mix gives them a more fudge-like consistency. For the frosting one, I'd remove 1-2 tbl spoons of frosting and replace it with 1-2 tbl spoons of instant vanilla pudding mix. It "ruins" the 2 ingredient aspect, but gives a better end result.
I have made it this way many many times and everyone enjoyed it and didn't know it wasn't the kind you stand and cook forever lol
Chocolate icing and peanut butter is good. Another good combination is cream cheese icing and peanut butter. I make this fudge every year at christmas to give away and people always love it!
Emmy I just found your channel its so great and I love your style. Looking forward to viewing some older videos as well. Super-cool and just in time for Christmas! Keeping it homemade but easy! 👍🏻👍🏻
Omgggggg girlllll!!! This recipe was a lifesaver during the holidays
Hooraaaayyyy!!! Happy Holidays.🧡
First time watching your channel. Very interesting and looks great ! 😊
In argentina we have a candy called "Bocadito Marroc" or just "Marroc", it's like the second recipie but a layer with dark chocolate&PB- w/white choco&PB- dark choco&PB it's so yummy
Also for peanuts lovers out there: MANTECOL (peanut halva), it's a (in my opinion) must have around christmas and new year's eve
❤love this idea. My daughter is wanting to make goodies for Christmas and this has been a really helpful odea
I have been wanting to try peanut butter and chocolate cake icing since I luv chocolate. Also want to add mini marshmallows.
peanut butter balls - my grandma makes those and we always called them buckeyes! she also makes fudge and i was shook when i asked her for the recipe and she said “it’s the one on the fluff container!” not sure if she uses the same recipe for her peanut butter fudge, but i might need to whip up a batch of one of these to get my fix!
She from Ohio?
Thanks for all the wonderful videos/recipes. Did I miss something? Can you please tell me how much chocolate to the jar a peanut butter you used? Thank you.
Did you get a answer
This also works really well with almond butter or cookie butter with the canned frosting. You can also use chocolate frosting but I find that version overly sweet. It works great everytime though.
I just love this corner of the internet so much. Just fun, extremely relaxing, happy, educational, chill vibes. Thank you sooo much for being so consistent on your schedule and just bringing interesting content. You’re the best, Happy Holidays! 🩵😌
