Peanut butter fudge is an easy holiday treat! Perfect for gifts, and you can make ahead of time and freeze!
The last recipe in my 4 Weeks to Fill Your Freezer series is a good one- Peanut Butter Fudge!
This is another one of those “20%” recipes, where you should feel free to enjoy it in moderation. Fudge is delicious, and this one is no exception.
My grandma makes lots of fudge during the holidays and I’ve grown to love it so much. I think, actually, this was the first time I’d ever made fudge and it was SO easy. I don’t know why I waited this long to make it!
This recipe actually makes a small batch, which was perfect for our family of 3. But if you’re looking to make this as holiday gifts, I highly recommend doubling the recipe to get much more out of it!
