To say this fudge recipe is simple is an understatement.
I love to make this easy fudge over more traditional fudge because honestly…I don’t run the risk of burning this one. Know what I mean? If you’ve ever made real fudge, you feel my pain. 😉

You can make this easy fudge recipe two different ways:
- in a saucepan

Either way will be so quick you won’t believe it.

CUT AND SERVE: Carefully remove the fudge from the dish and slice into squares. Serve.
Store remaining fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
NOTE: I use a silicone square dish. If you use glass, prepare your dish with parchment paper or cooking spray so that it doesn’t stick!

If you want to make this two ingredient fudge recipe in a saucepan on the stove, it’s just as quick and easy.
ADD: Add the peanut butter and the chocolate frosting to a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat.
