2 Ingredient Fudge That Tastes Like A Reese's Cup

This 2 ingredient fudge is a chocolate peanut butter dream. It's rich, smooth, and tastes like a Reese's cup in fudge form! So if that sounds good to you, you'll love this recipe!

The Best 2 Ingredient Fudge

Chocolate and peanut butter are, in my opinion, one of the best combinations on the planet. And whenever you're craving the iconic pair, this 2 ingredient fudge recipe is just what you need. It combines soft and creamy peanut butter with rich chocolate frosting to make a melt in your mouth fudge that is too good to be true. 

You seriously won't believe that just two ingredients can make such a smooth, creamy, and delicious fudge. It's as mind-blowing as my other 2 ingredient fudge recipe made with Nutella and chocolate chips! So if you like Nutella, you'll want to check that out next. 

But for now, let's focus on this recipe. It takes under 5 minutes to make and is about as simple as a dessert can get. A bonus is there's minimal clean-up. The ingredients come together in one bowl, and it's a microwave fudge recipe, making it even easier!

I love making this peanut butter chocolate fudge whenever I need a quick dessert if I'm hosting or want to have a little treat in the fridge all week long. And it's a no bake dessert that is a chilled treat, so it's perfect for making if it's hot outside, just like these no bake chocolate oat cookies.

Ingredients

• Peanut butter- your favorite peanut butter will work great here. I like to use Jiff peanut butter. You can also use other nut butter like almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or cashew butter.
• Chocolate frosting- I used the Betty Crocker rich & creamy milk chocolate frosting. Dark chocolate frosting and vanilla frosting are delicious too.

It's seriously crazy that just a couple of ingredients can make such a delicious dessert! And it literally tastes like a Reese's cup, just like this no bake peanut butter pie.

How To Make This Fudge

Step 1: Microwaving

First things first, put the frosting and peanut butter into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for 1 minute. Then take the mixture out and give it a good stir until the frosting and peanut butter start to combine. Next, you can microwave it for 1 more minute and stir until you have a fully combined, thick chocolate sauce-like mixture. Make sure you do this in two 1 minute intervals - trying to heat it for two straight minutes will burn the ingredients.

Step 2: Chilling

Now line a baking tray or loaf pan with parchment paper. A 9x9 or 8x8 size works well, but really any size will work! The size of the pan will just determine the thickness of the fudge. Next, pour the peanut butter chocolate fudge mixture into the tray or pan and evenly smooth out the top with a rubber spatula. Then you can put the fudge in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours or until it sets.

Step 3: Serving

Once the fudge has set, take it out of the fridge to thaw for a couple of minutes. And it won't take long for the fudge to soften up. Then once it is slightly soft, cut the peanut butter chocolate fudge into any sized squares you want and enjoy!

What Can I Add To This Fudge?

There are so many delicious additions that you can make with this recipe. Some ideas are to stir in chopped nuts, crushed Oreos or any cookies, marshmallows and graham crackers, or sprinkles.

How To Store Leftover Fudge

This recipe will make 24 squares of fudge, but how you cut it will determine how many pieces you end up with. Now, I love making this fudge because it's a tasty dessert that can be enjoyed for a long time!

You can keep the leftover fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2-3 weeks. First, wrap the fudge in some parchment paper and then transfer it to an airtight container or resealable bag. I personally like putting it right into the refrigerator instead of storing it at room temperature. I think this has a better texture and flavor when slightly chilled.

If you want to keep it for even longer, you can freeze the fudge for up to 6 months! Then just thaw at room temperature or in the fridge before enjoying.
