Easy Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is the food. There are few things that say Christmas to me like homemade fudge. My husband isn’t much for chocolate so I knew if I wanted to make something the whole family could enjoy I needed to create a peanut butter fudge recipe.

In an effort to maximize my time and efforts in the kitchen, I like to create recipes that are simple and easy but taste like they took much more effort. To accomplish this finding a way to create a no bake fudge recipe was a priority. Surprisingly I managed to an easy peanut butter fudge recipe on the first attempt. I’m not typically a midnight snacker but I just couldn’t resist sneaking a piece one night. It was so good and didn’t last very long at all, in fact I’m sure my doctor is going to be surprised at the sudden increase in my weight from last month. I’m a sucker for homemade goodies.
