Reese’s Peanut Butter Fudge Delight
Ingredients:
- 16 oz Crunchy Peanut Butter
- 16 oz white cake frosting
- 1 box Reese’s Pieces
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line a square casserole dish with wax paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Melt Peanut Butter:
- Place the jar of crunchy peanut butter in the microwave for 1 minute and 50 seconds, or until fully melted. Stir it well to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Melt Cake Frosting:
- Microwave the jar of white cake frosting for 1 minute or until it becomes soft and easy to mix.
- Combine Peanut Butter and Frosting:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted peanut butter and cake frosting. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
- Pour into Casserole Dish:
- Pour the peanut butter and frosting mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Top with Reese’s Pieces:
- Generously sprinkle Reese’s Pieces over the top of the fudge mixture. Press them gently into the surface so they adhere.
- Chill in the Refrigerator:
- Place the casserole dish in the refrigerator and let the fudge cool for at least 1 hour. This will allow it to set and become firm.
- Cut into Squares:
- Once the fudge has completely cooled and set, use the overhanging wax paper to lift it out of the casserole dish. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into squares or rectangles.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Arrange the Reese’s Peanut Butter Fudge squares on a serving plate or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Optional Enhancements:
- Drizzle with Chocolate:
- Melt some chocolate and drizzle it over the top of the fudge for an extra layer of decadence.
- Sprinkle Sea Salt:
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty flavor contrast.
- Chopped Nuts:
- Mix chopped nuts (such as peanuts or almonds) into the fudge mixture before pouring it into the casserole dish for added texture.
