Ingredients for 2-Minute Peanut Butter Fudge:

1 (160z) can of vanilla or cream cheese frosting
1 (16oz) jar of peanut butter

How to Make Peanut Butter Fudge:

Step 1

Heat the vanilla or cream cheese frosting in the microwave for a total of 60 seconds making sure to stir every now and then until completely melted.

Step 2

Do the same for the peanut butter, melt it on a high setting for 30 seconds at first, then at 10 or 15-second intervals until melted, and stir in between each interval.

Step 3

Make sure not to heat the peanut butter too much that it becomes too runny, heat it just until melted, then once both ingredients are ready, mix them together in a bowl until uniform and well combined.

Step 4

Grease a 9×9-inch square pan with butter, then line it with parchment paper, and pour in the mixture spreading it evenly to the sides. Place it in the refrigerator, then let it chill for about 1 to 2 hours until hardened and fully set, and slice before serving. Enjoy!
