Alton Brown's Easy Peanut Butter Fudge
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 дек 2020
- Few holiday treats say "I care" quite like fudge, which is delicious, tedious, and time consuming. Since it only has 4 ingredients and takes about 10 minutes to make, this fudge says "I forgot to get you anything, so I made this at the last minute." Luckily, it's so delicious, no one will really care.
Happy Holidays!

AB is flexing the freedom of dropping brand names and his opinions thereof with reckless abandon. Love it.

Agreed.
Ok I guess
Hadn't thought about it like this. Always knew AB was one of my favorites, however your comment gave me a new perspective on him and I think he just went up a couple ranks. lol
Well, JIF is the number one brand even after that recall, it just happens but, once the manufacturer gets thing’s back on track you still can trust the quality of the product!
I like that Alton Brown isn't held back by Food TV now, he can make what he wants, how he wants, and with what ingredients he wants. It's like the uncensored version of Good Eats lol.
Better, since there is no time limit or amount...
_I know some people like sKiPpY or pEtEr PaN_
@@MrV902 who?! What monster likes those?
@@bigmacmm5 Ugh, my Father LOVES Skippy. It's so gross. Jif all the way. I like making my own PB too, but Jif is a classic.
@@bigmacmm5 Skippy was OK, I _guess,_ when I was in grade school, but once I first tasted Jif, I knew I'd been missing out.
"It's Christmas, live a little ok?" Things like that make Alton the best.
Thank you, Alton, from the bottom of my heart, for this timely post. I was able to make this with peanut butter from the food bank so that I could give a present this year. I haven't been able to buy food in 6 months, so there were no eggs or milk for baking. It's been extreme quarantine kitchen here, but you and Elizabeth have made it not just tolerable, but enjoyable. Merry Christmas, and may 2021 be a better year for us all!
I hope things are going better for you this year
Yes, I too hope it is a better year. I wish I could buy you some groceries.
Best of luck to you and your family 💚
Love Alton Brown, always have.
Get a job, ya bum
For some reason it makes me immensely happy to hear and see the same/similar sound effects and transitions he's since OG Good Eats.
It's a bit like coming home after a long time away.
@@alexmorganmc.1262 Exactly! 🙂
You know Alton's a true blue chef 'cause he doesn't fix what isn't broken.
@@LordofBays Yup. I'm still making his recipes from 20 years ago.
I have to give a shout-out to his show's composer. I'm a huge Vince Guaraldi, and if you listen carefully to the accompanying music, you'll hear an homage tune done in the style of the 'Skating' instrumental tune on the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack. It's not the same music, because copyrights and all that, but whomever put it together got the right, light, jazzy and nostalgic feel.
I love how excited Alton gets when he says the brand name of a product.
same, hehe the man has truly been unleashed here on youtube
@@Hawk_Leigh Absolutely. I like Alton as he is more than the "TV friendly" toned down version. Hopefully he keeps up the the youtube content. Merry Christmas meanwhile !
@@MrK-ti5lt Haha same! RUclips Alton is the true Alton! And Merry Christmas to you too!
I have always like watching Alton Brown, he educates us on food not just shows how to make it.
I love that too! It’s science and art!
I did make this recipe . It was easy , simple to follow his instructions and turned out to be the best Peanut Butter fudge that I have tasted . It was very creamy and smooth . And I did not share any of it ! It is or was that good !
This is how the guy at the cell phone repair shop gets his story about the customer who accidentally microwaved their cell phone.
Saying "I forgot it in the microwave trying to imitate an Alton Brown video" is a lot less embarrassing than the truth in most cases, which is people thought it would recharge it because of a FB video.
@@DynamicUnrealitywhat happen to just owning up to being high?
3:36 This man just really microwaved his phone 🤣
It was the stunt phone.
@@mollysmith6055 lol 😂
In most microwaves the inverter doesn't turn on for the first few seconds or is getting a soft warmup. So he got lucky... just barely.
It makes me feel better that Alton gets video bombed too 🤪
@@ReaperUnreal it looks like it did start messing with the video for a few frames, though. So he lucked out.
I've been making this for probably 15 years now thanks to you and your show!
Alton thank you for coming back with good eats.I learned a lot watching your shows as a kid.Gave me a chance to understand how to be creative with my food and not do junk food all the time.i look forward to learn more from you.
I remember my childhood cheat fudge. My dad never cooked, but at Christmas he was in charge of stirring together a combination of molten margarine, marshmallow cream and chocolate chips until it came together in a gigantic tan bowl we kept around for literally no other purpose.
Holy smoke. I literally just made that fudge yesterday. I had to go get margarine 🤣
Man, I am with Alton on 'unitaskers' but I think we all have a bowl that we only use for one thing, and that is just fine.
That fudge sounds amazing but it's begging for the addition of rice krispies. also real butter. What's the ratio in that recipe?
@@KairuHakubi It's been at at least five years since I made it, so I'd google "marshmallow cream fudge" before listening to me, or ask April in the above comment. I think two bags of chips, a regular size jar of marshmallow cream and a pound of margarine. Rice Krispies sounds pretty genius. I think we used nuts sometimes--maybe pecans?
@@roebuckmckinney Thank youuu I might experiment. Sounds like in essence a gelatin-stabilized vegetable-oil ganache. I would probably substitute coconut cream for the margarine if it was feasible to get a dang pound of it.
"literally"
The peanut butter industry just boomed for the next week due to this.
The market mover, Mr. Brown.
Buy Jif stock now!
Nah...just buy Jif!! Yay!
RIGHT... and I just bought a new jar of Jiff this week
Peter Pan Honey Roasted Crunch is off the shelves down here.....MISSING!
@@naftalibendavid
That is NOT a bad idea.
Hey... If Alton says so... it has to be true.
I tried this the other night and it came out fantastic! This is now one off my go to recipes for a quick and easy dessert that will have guests raving!
Oh my gosh! So glad to see Alton Brown back, doing his thing!!! I have learned so much from him!
Gotta love the sneaky Elizabeth looking for treats. Half expected there to be a chunk missing before he cut into it! :D
Either steal a piece or set a piece of kale or Kimchee on it! 🎅🏼🤶🏼☃️
I'm glad you addressed "real" vs heavily processed peanut butter, and why you should use the latter.
If not, I might have used the real stuff and had it fall apart on me.
Jif does have a "natural" variety that it's great (it does contain palm oil, though; do with that what you will) and it's pretty homogenized, as in the oil doesn't separate as what happens with the Smucker's natural one. I used to buy the latter but I find it too salty now, plus it separates so much that there's a pool of oil on top and a really hard to scoop mass below the oil... The Jif one I can eat with a spoon.
Too bad, that organic peanut butter and (yes, you guessed it), Kerrygold butter, is all I have at home...😆
I’m trying with emulsified “hippy peanut butter,” because that’s what I have. It’s all Hippy nut butter is all I’ve ever had.
Loved making this for friends and family at the holidays many years in a row. Super simple and tasty
Made this last night and it's a HIT! Will be making it again and again and again!!!
"But natural peanut butter is better for you!" They say as they eat 2 sticks of butter and 3 cups of sugar.
When are people going to learn, food is just food. The only thing to worry about in there is maybe the hydrogenated stuff, because that IS fake health-food junk.. replace it with lard and you're all good probably.
I really prefer the way natural peanut butter tastes
@@kamcorder3585 That's valid enough. it's like, sometimes people want ketchup, sometimes they want pureed tomatoes. they're different things
@@KairuHakubi hydrogenated oils are no different than saturated fatty acids. Your body wont be mad if you eat FULLY hydrogenated. Just stay away from PARTIALLY hydrogenated... that is deadly! FULLY is just Sat. Fat... which isn't too bad!
@@CartoonManWhoo Thaaaat's right, thanks for reminding me. I used to know that and I forgot.
Alton even had a wonderful little train model to illustrate it, or maybe it was a bus? or a rollercoaster. And the seats represented the open spaces where hydrogen can go.
Peanutbutter Chocolate fudge was my grandmother's holiday thing to make and the only thing my dad voluntarily cooked during the year. 💖
the ribbon fudge recipe off the marshmallow jar is our traditional family recipe for the best peanut butter and chocolate fudge.
That sounds good with a graham cracker base
@@kirstenharper5246 my aunt used to make the most amaaaaaazing peanut butter fudge every Christmas. When I got old enough to be interested in cooking I asked her if she'd give me the recipe."Oh, Honey," she said, " It's right on the back of the jar of fluff!"
Thanks for the love and support my Great fan ❤️❤️
This is my second account here and it my pleasure to meet you here ..... I will like to hear from you if you don’t mind sweetie ❤️❤️❤️

Alton, You're just great! You always bring a smile to my face with you just being you! Thank you for sharing your gifts...and recipes. Cheers, from Ontario, Canada
When I was going through a candy-making phase when I was younger, this was actually one of my favorite recipes to make! *Always got compliments!
Alton rocking the Jacques Cousteau look for the holidays.
I grew up watching him on the TV. Sometimes I didn’t understand but I felt like I was learning. He’s a legend 🎄☃️
I have been making this recipes for years and years. Always a favorite.
Still lovin’ ya after all these years!! Thank you for this super easy recipe!! ❤
lmao he legit microwaved his phone for a few seconds
As someone who actually did put a phone in the microwave back when I was a kid, that made me tense up, lol. I know from experience it does NOT take long for a microwave to wreck a phone, lol.
Yup!! Time to scream at my phone like he can hear! Yeah...I do that!
I seem to recall Alton Brown saying once that he had a microwave with the magnetron tube disabled for use in shots like this on Good Eats. Lights up, turns on the fan, spins the platter, but no actual microwaves come out.
@@IanMcCloghrie You can tell it's the same scene though
It could have been on a slow defrost setting or something else that would greatly reduce the potential for really damaging the phone (assuming it was a staged shot).
As always, Alton Brown, the devilishly genius master. You have been and likely will always be my culinary patron saint. Saint Alton Brown, teacher of the kitchen mastery.
I like his sense of humor, so down to earth!!!
Love this recipe!
My mom passed a couple of years ago, and one of my favorite things at Christmas was her peanut butter fudge and I had no idea how she made it. Thank you for this. I'm going to try it the night before Christmas Eve at 11:38PM after I've had a couple glasses of scotch. Wish me luck!
did you make it?
@jasonbalicki7948 Did you make it? How'd it turn out?
Be careful cutting it
Scotch & making pb fudge, good combo😅how'd it turn out for ya?
Thank you from the UK.
Merry Christmas Alton and Elizabeth!
I was dreading making fudge this year, no longer! Thanks Alton and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
My 13 year old granddaughter has just made this and it’s wonderful. Thank you for the recipe, i think it’s going to be a family favourite.
Made this today. Came out perfect in consistency, taste and ease. Yum!
"It's Christmas, live with it, ok?" Haha
'Live a little' is what I heard.💃🖖
I remember watching you make this when I was a kid on tv. I made it for my family! It was one of my first completely independent cooking experiments. It worked out great! This stuff is such great memories!
We just love you Alton Brown ,my son really likes the scientific part about your recipes. Happy holidays
dude, i swear to all that's (kitchen) holy that i could watch you folding your laundry and be entertained ... your facial expressiveness just caps everything off perfectly ... love the tongue hanging out when you stir the butter+peanut butter mixture. thanks for all you do for us, your adoring fans!
I’m just imagining how much better those would be dipped in a good tempered chocolate to make something like a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup with a fudge center.
Yum! Maybe cut them to 1/2" pieces so they aren't too big after the covering!
You gotta do this!
Read my comment, thats how they taste ! Jin Herrera
It would basically be a reeses bar.
A store near me used to sell "bake your own reeses" kits, and the smell of this recipe after everything was microwaved and mixed was the literal exact smell from the peanut butter part of that kit
@@joeyc5879 but cheaper than reese's bars!
Alton, you’re too much and so cool! I love watching you cook!! So entertaining and educational. Who thought learning could ever be so fun.
Have always loved watching you cook! Glad you are on here❤️❤️❤️
I love his vibe lol, he seems like a fun and nice guy. Thank you for the video!
“It’s not Good Eats after all”
Proceeds to use similar transitions and sounds from his days on Good Eats 😂
Not to mention the odd camera angles
Stick to what you know works and entertains. The Good Eats formula ain’t broken, don’t go looking to abandon it.
@@jordajh couldn’t agree more. I loved Good Eats when I was younger, been a fan of Alton Brown ever since
He uses the same shltty recipes too
@@noway974 seems a bit uncalled for
Merry Christmas to you, Elizabeth, Frannie, and Scabs. I hope for Christmas quarantine kitchen comes back. I miss spending time with you all. Thank You!
The legend lives on! The iconic show continues from the comfort of his home,
He gets to be himself even more!
Thank you!
Alton Brown, you were a definite favorite on Food Network. I loved learning the science of baking and cooking. “Homogeneous mass” sounds so festive and appealing - thanks for the 😂😂 moment. Merry Christmas to you!
I love it!!! Great to see you again Alton! Hope we get to see you and Elizabeth on QK soon!!!
The oops with the camera/phone and Elizabeth's cameo are priceless... That's the stuff that draws me in but the asides that merge with the running commentary are very much what has kept me since the very beginning at Good Eats. I also appreciate that these are released on Tuesdays, it helps with the withdrawal symptoms a bit. Thank you both for your time and efforts...Merry Christmas!
This brought back so many memories from being a kid and watching your show. I was looking for a fudge recipe and came across this ❤
I've been making this for years since I saw it on 'Good Eats' when it originally aired on the Food Network; easy and delicious.
Always enjoyable Mr Brown! Thank you for what you do.
"I use Jif."
VINDICATION!!!
Alton and all the choosy moms agree
Thanks for the recipe AB!!! I’m so glad you’re on RUclips. I’m a huge Good Eats fan from WAY BACK!!!
Thank you for revisiting this fudge recipe Alton. I remember it years ago on Good Eats. Perfect fudge for me an the kiddo to make.
Thank you for tuning in to "The Fudge Aquatic with Alton Brown"
I actually giggle snorted.
Please come back to us, Alton.
Thank you Mr. Brown, Happy Holidays
This guy is great. He looks like he enjoys what he’s doing. That makes it really enjoyable watching his video.
I just finished making this, dear sweet mother Mary it's so good.
Merry Christmas to you and Elizabeth. I’m home for a Covid-19 quarantine watch. Wife had it but not me, at least not yet. This has made my day
just made the fudge and THANK YOU ALTON! it was so quick and easy and it does taste great like you spent hours making it. it took all of 10 mins to make, IF THAT! with just a microwave it came out perfect! best recipe for peanut butter fudge
Fantastic fudge and so so easy. You made my Christmas baking a breeze!
Merry, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Alton and Elizabeth!
I love Alton!!! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful wife♥️☃️
Thanks Alton, this is the easiest to make and the best tasting. Perfect density.
I just made this with almond butter (the no-stir, doesn't separate kind) and OMG it is amazing! Thank you for the inspiration.
🙄
Y’all really don’t remember Alton having cameras in every oven he ever used on Good Eats 😂
He pretty much did. Ovens, refrigerators, pantries, etc.
It wasn't just limited to ovens. Cupboards, refrigerators cabinets or anything else he could open I think? 😎
Pepperidge Farm remembers
He did start out as a film student and spent a number of years operating cameras and directing music videos and commercials. Cinematography, camera angles, and framing were definitely areas of expertise for him and it carried over to his shows, I think he didn't get really good at cooking until after.
@@KalOrtPor didn’t know that, very cool!
I was expecting a sewing kit at the end when he opened it.
Yeah!! The memories huh?
Omg I’m only 29 and I literally have sewing supplies in one of my leftover Danish biscuit tins because that’s just what happens when you age.
He could lift the lid 100 times and the expectation might fade but it wouldn't completely go away.
This is a great recipe. I could use this for choc coated peanut butter balls ❗️
This is one Good Eat, Mr. Brown! Such a pleasure to still see you on my big screen.
You know what's even better than peanut butter fudge? Peanut butter cup fudge! I made chocolate ganache and put a layer of that under and over the peanut butter layer--it was awesome!!
This sounds so good. I'd have to add some cinnamon. And I totally agree about the Jif and I also eat it with a spoon for a snack, kept the jar and a spoon next to my bed, lol!
My husband and I have always loved Alton Browns shows that were on the Food Network...they were informative, fun and Interesting. So Glad to find you on Utube...hubby wants me to make your Peanut butter Fudge. We use Jif peanut butter, so Yahoo. Thanks Alton Brown !!!
Thank you for all the hard work you do. If it wasn't for you I would have never found my love for cooking.
This recipe is so easy and the fudge is delicious.
This is the first time I’ve watched you Alton and I was very entertained and informed, what a simple fudge recipe!. You’ve gained another subscriber and I’m looking forward to more of your festive treats. Great work mate
He used to have a show called Good Eats. He would cook and also talk about the ingredients. It was a good show.
If you go looking for more of his recipes, you've got 20+years of his unique way of cooking to explore.
Thanks Alton. I really enjoyed the video and thanks for an easy receipt.
I love his presentation.
Thank you Mr. Brown. I've always wanted to try making fudge but never had a thermometer or the skill, this recipe was easy to follow and the results are chilling in my fridge now
So they came out excellent, recipe is perfect and ridiculously easy to follow
@@joeyc5879 That's the magic of modern food additives.

Alton using a microwave to make pb fudge?!?! I'm shocked 😂 Way to go Alton; no fuss no muss. Looks yummy! Thanks!
Thank you for this. I just made a different PB fudge recipe and it was a fail. SO. will make this . You are the best. have you have a wonder-full 2022!!!!! Blessings and Gratitude
You've outdone yourself again, Alton! I can't wait to try ❤️
You actually don't need to use a microwave. I just melted the butter and peanut butter in a nonstick saucepan on low heat (took hardly any time), then turned off the heat and stirred in the vanilla, then the powdered sugar. I used vegan butter (Earth Balance) and it turned out just like in the video. I also halved the recipe and made a neat little square of fudge on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, forming it with a rubber spatula. This may have been literally the fastest and easiest dessert I've ever made. Thanks Alton!
There have been a lot of celebrity chef's that have come and gone but you reinvent yourself over and over. You're better than ever. Thank you for the inspiration!
My Brother in Law passed a few years ago..He always made our family his Mom's wonderful fudge..I decided this year to take up that tradition and make the fudge ..Will be doing your peanut butter and a chocolate fudge..This sounds so yummy!!
I find this recipe of yours some time ago. I made it that first day. Now I'm expected to make it every year. I give it out as gifts.
I haven't had peanut butter fudge in 17 years. This might be the year.
Just say it was due to COVID: sugar and peanut butter are ALWAYS good for trauma😅
It's 2020 have the fudge! Have all the fudge you want. You (as well as the rest of the world) deserve fudge!
Used to make some with my mom using velveeta cheese.
@@eldonerc2524 With velveeta? Did it have more of a cheesy flavor or could you not even tell it was in there?
fudge doesn't make it to the fridge in my house
I'm not american, first time I'm introduced to this channel and I love the way he describes his recipe, very funny and entertaining. Gonna try this recipe eventhough it's not entirely healthy 😁😊
Same here
I can't love Alton Brown more or this fudge recipe ❤️❤️
Oh my I’ve never been able to make and is one of my favorites. Thank you so much.
Hi,we miss you two ! I've made a version of this for about 30 years. I think mine has more sugar but, I spread in a quarter sheet pan so about half as thick, chill, pour melted chocolate (I like dark) to cover, then Quickly sprinkle chopped peanuts. It ends up tasting like a peanut butter cup. Of course you can get fancy from there. The chocolate will crack when cut (I'm sure Alton would know what to add to fix that), so it doesn't make squares but people seem to like to be able to pick a big ol' hunk or small. Thats my favorite part, watching them turn into little kids, their eyes get big and them they go for a big piece ! I serve on a big plate, or for gifts I use pretty shirt box lined of course. Friends ask for it for birthdays and pot lucks, makes me feel good when you walk in and everyone is eyeing you for a shirt box ! AND best part is its super easy, fun, I always have ingredients in the house, and its pretty quick too.
This really took me on a journey! Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Hiya! Tempering the chocolate or letting the whole thing warm up a smidge before cutting it might help!
I'd like a homemade present from Alton...
I would be happy to see QQ back!
Remember when he made a Holocaust joke and apologised?

You caught that microwave just in time, theres a frame in there where the image distorts and goes black haha
The dudes in tv, and you don't think that's vfx.
@@BenderTheBoiler no I dont because its unnecessary
YES!! 🥜 JIF peanut butter is the ONLY brand to use.
It certainly makes fudge taste
SO MUCH BETTER. Merry Christmas, y'all! ✝️ 🎄 🎅 ✝️ 🎄
I’m not liking ur vibe 👎😵💫🙄🧐
SOOO good, I've made this twice, I also added walnuts. quick and easy just the way I like it. Thank you.
I use to make this fudge all the time, I love it so much
