2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge Tips
Why is my peanut butter fudge grainy?
If
your peanut butter fudge has a grainy texture, you may have heated the
candy coating for too long. As you melt the candy coating in your
saucepan, stir constantly so it doesn’t scorch. Make sure that you use a
creamy peanut butter to keep the fudge smooth, too. You can even make
your own
homemade peanut butter if you like. If you’ve got leftover peanut butter to spare, use it up in one of these
delicious ways to use up a jar of peanut butter.
Why won't my 2-ingredient peanut butter fudge harden?
If
your peanut butter fudge is not setting, it could be that your fudge
mixture is not getting hot enough or not being cooked long enough. If
it's really soft, you can try to reheat it. Bring it slowly back to a
boil, then try again—it should set more firmly this time.
Can you add chocolate to this 2-ingredient peanut butter fudge recipe?
If you’re craving chocolate (and who doesn’t love the classic
chocolate-and-peanut butter combo?) you can easily substitute your
favorite chocolate morsels, or even chocolate frosting, for the white
candy coating. Of course, you could always whip up a batch of rich
chocolate fudge, too.
Should you refrigerate 2-ingredient peanut butter fudge after making it?
It isn’t always necessary to refrigerate fudge.
