🎉🍯 Three Double Batches of Peanut Butter Fudge — Because One Batch Is Never Enough! 🍯🎉
If you’re looking for a rich, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth dessert that practically disappears the second it hits the table, this old-fashioned peanut butter fudge is exactly what you need. I made three double batches today — yes, three! — and let me tell you, every single piece was spoken for before it even cooled. That’s how irresistible this recipe is. Whether you’re prepping for the holidays, gifting to friends, or just stocking your freezer with goodies, this fudge truly never fails.
What I love most about homemade peanut butter fudge is how unbelievably simple, nostalgic, and comforting it is. It’s the kind of treat that reminds you of childhood kitchens, holiday gatherings, and those little moments when a sweet bite makes an entire day better. And when you make it in double batches, you get the small-batch charm with BIG-batch payoff — perfect for sharing… or not sharing at all. 😄

🥜 Ingredients (for 1 Double Batch)
If you want to make three double batches like I did, just multiply everything by 3!
2 cups creamy peanut butter
2 cups unsalted butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
8 cups powdered sugar
Pinch of salt (optional, but great for balance)
🍯 How to Make It (Foolproof Every Time)
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once melted, turn off the heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth and silky.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually stir in the powdered sugar, working quickly until everything is fully blended and forms a thick, creamy mixture.
- Press the fudge into a parchment-lined pan, smoothing the top.
- Let it cool completely (fridge speeds this up!)
- Slice into squares… if you can resist long enough to let it set. 😅

This fudge makes the best holiday gift — wrap the pieces in little treat bags, cookie tins, or even small kraft boxes with ribbon. People seriously go crazy for homemade fudge because it has that old-school charm you just can’t find in store-bought sweets.
