My sister shared the recipe for this unbelievably easy peanut butter fudge with marshmallow creme. I prefer using creamy peanut butter for this mouthwatering dessert, but the chunky style works just as well. —Mary Jane Rummel, Linglestown, Pennsylvania

1-1/3 cups peanut butter
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme

Marshmallow cream is “Fluff”!!!! Ice cream topping is smoothed out and pourable. It would RUIN this recipe!!!

Does marshmallow cream mean marshmallow ice cream topping or fluff?

Made just as recipe written. Both my husband and I thought it had a grainy texture. Tasted OK. Probably will not make again. Must admit that it was very easy to make.

I've tried lots of recipes, this was the first that came close to the one my mother always made . I used crunchy peanut butter and added some vanilla and a pinch of salt. I greased the foil with spray and added the butter to the milk and sugar mixture. So glad this recipe doesn't need a candy thermometer. Prep your ingredients first so you can mix quickly.

I've never made fudge before, and I must admit, after reading some of these flop reviews, I was a little scared. But, this fudge turned out perfect, and my entire family loved it. I will definitely make this again for the holidays!
