Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (not margarine)
- 1 (10-ounce) bag peanut butter chips
- 1 (10-ounce) bag mini marshmallows
- Foil (for lining the baking pan)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch square pan with foil, making sure the foil extends over the edges for easy removal later. Set aside.
- Melt the Butter: In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter completely. Once melted, reduce the heat to medium-low to prevent burning.
- Add Peanut Butter Chips: Stir in the peanut butter chips gradually, continuing to stir until they are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Incorporate Marshmallows: Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in the mini marshmallows, mixing until they are completely coated and evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the mixture into the prepared foil-lined pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for about 2 to 3 hours or until the fudge is fully set and firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan by pulling up on the foil edges. Cut into 16 or 25 squares depending on your preferred size, and store covered in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use real butter for best flavor; margarine may affect texture and taste.
- Ensure the peanut butter chips are melted smoothly to avoid gritty texture.
- Refrigerate thoroughly to achieve firm fudge that’s easy to cut.
- Marshmallows help add a light, fluffy texture to the fudge.
- Store fudge covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
