Reese’s Fudge

Reese’s Fudge – a layer of creamy peanut butter fudge topped with melted chocolate and peanut butter.  And easy no bake recipe that is down right addicting!

One of my dear friends has a cookie exchange every year.  She has a house full of people that all bring 3 dozen cookies, packaged in groups of 6, and place them around her large dining room table.  We visit, sip champagne and snack on delicious appetizers.  Then to end the night we all get in a long line and take turns walking around the table.

Each time around the table, you get to take 1 package of cookies, until there are none left.  So you go home with 6 packages of cookies that you picked out, all baked by different people.  It is a super fun night, and I always come away with yummy treats.  At this cookie exchange my friend always serves her Reese’s fudge, which is one of my favorite things ever.

This year at the cookie exchange my friend actually had her Reese’s fudge as her “cookie” to exchange.  It was the one I picked first!  I came home and my 10 year dove right in.  It was the first thing gone, and as soon as it was, he said “I guess I know what you and I are doing together tomorrow.” Peanut Butter Chocolate Balls have always been our favorite, but this fudge has taken over!

What You’ll Need

• Butter
• Creamy Peanut Butter
• Graham Crackers
• Powdered Sugar
• Milk Chocolate

I have actually made something similar before..these Peanut Butter Bars.  But this Reese’s fudge is much softer and more like fudge than a bar.  It all comes together in 1 bowl, no mixer required.  No baking required either.

You do need to melt some chocolate and butter, but aside from that no other heating is involved.  It is super easy, maybe you can even let the kids make it for you!  If you are a fan of Reese’s peanut butter cups, trust me, you will LOVE this peanut butter fudge!

How To Make Reese’s Fudge

1. In a large bowl mix together creamy peanut butter, melted butter, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. You can either use a large fork, spatula, or even an electric mixer. Just make sure it is well blended.
2. Press the mixture into a 13×9 inch pan and set in the fridge while you make the chocolate topping.
3. Place chocolate chips and peanut butter into a bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir until melted and smooth. Pour over peanut butter layer.
4. Chill for 2 hours, until firm. Or you can just let it set at room temperature until the chocolate is completely set.

Frequently Asked Questions About Reese’s Fudge recipe:

• Yes, you absolutely can freeze this fudge. I like to make it ahead of time and store it in the freezer.  I can then take out just as much as I need for the day or event.
• 1 pound of powdered sugar is approximately 3 3/4 cups.  Powdered sugar is really easy to pack into a measuring cup and not get an accurate amount, so weight is best.
• Powdered sugar comes in either 1 pound or 2 pound packages.  So you can use the whole thing or 1/2 depending on what you buy.
• If you buy the pre-ground graham cracker crumbs just measure out 1 1/2 cups of them and they will work great.
• If you live in the UK, Australia, or some where else that doesn’t have graham crackers, something like digestive biscuits will work.
• Almond butter, sun butter or other peanut butter substitutes should work great, just use the same amount called for in the recipe.
• If you like dark chocolate, feel free to use that in the topping.
• If you want more texture in your fudge, you can definitely use crunchy peanut butter.
