Tips for making Peanut Butter Fudge with Powdered Sugar
1. Do NOT use all-natural peanut butter, as it has a higher amount of oil in it and can cause the fudge to separate. However, you can use crunchy peanut butter if you’d like.
2. Grease your baking pan with cooking spray, not butter. Or line it with parchment paper so you can easily remove the whole pan of fudge.
3. Using powdered sugar over granulated sugar yields a smoother, creamier fudge.
4. If your powdered sugar is lumpy, make sure to sift it or whisk the lumps out of it before adding it to the peanut butter mixture.
5. Make sure that once the mixture comes to a boil, you boil for 1 MINUTE 45 SECONDS ONLY, no more, no less. Like , this timing is important to the final texture of the fudge, as we want to be able to control the water content of the mixture.
6. In follow up to the last tip, it’s possible that if you’re making this on a day when it’s raining or very humid, the water in the air can impact the final results of the fudge. Generally, it will have a harder time setting and may have a grainier texture.
7. You can mix the fudge mixture by hand when called for, but a hand mixer will help keep things quick and have a smoother end result.
8. Wait until the fudge has cooled to room temperature and fully set before slicing.
How long will Homemade Peanut Butter Fudge last?
Not long because you’ll likely eat it all 😉 but if you want to make it ahead or do have some leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in a cool area.
