My friend, Linda, has the best peanut butter recipes ever:

We usually see Linda on Monday evenings, and she usually brings some kind of fabulous peanut butter dessert. I have no will power where peanut butter desserts are concerned, and I do not desire to change that.

This peanut butter marshmallow fudge was so amazingly delicious that we brought the plate to our table instead of leaving it in the kitchen. That's never good for your self control, is it?

It was that good.

What you'll need to make the best 4-ingredient peanut butter marshmallow fudge recipe

EQUIPMENT

Medium saucepan
9x9 baking dish - You will pour the hot fudge into this 9-inch pan and then stick it in the fridge to cool. You can also use an 8x8 pan if that's all you have.
Parchment paper - You will use this to line the dish that the fudge cools in. You don't absolutely need it, but it makes removing the fudge from the dish much much easier. Alternately, you could use wax paper or aluminum foil because you won't be cooking the dish.

How to make the best easy peanut butter fudge recipe

Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Optionally, you can spritz the parchment paper with butter-flavored cooking spray, but this is not absolutely necessary.
Whisk together the sugar and milk in a medium saucepan.
Bring the milk mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Boil vigorously for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
Stir in a small jar of peanut butter and a small jar of marshmallow creme. Mix well until it has a creamy texture.
Spread evenly in prepared pan and refrigerate until set.

Storing peanut butter marshmallow fudge

Once the fudge is cooled, it will stay good at room temperature. Store in an airtight container or zippered plastic bag for up to a week. (If it lasts that long!)

What to do with your peanut butter marshmallow fudge

I'm thinking that I could make this fudge, cut it, roll the cubes in chocolate ganache, and then wrap it up and give it for Christmas presents. Wouldn't that be a great gift?

I think these other recipes would make a great Christmas gift, too, especially if you made a bunch of them and put them on a pretty tray all together.
