I’m totally missing out on a Sunday nap right now but I’m willing to make that sacrifice so that I can share this Homemade Fluffernutter Fudge with you! I’m sweet like that. 😉
For as long as I’ve been a Barrett, my father in law has been the king of making homemade fudge and homemade chocolate pie. I’ve pretty much got the chocolate pie recipe down but I’m normally pretty lousy at making fudge.
I’m going to spare you details of my countless attempts and just say that I’v failed 1000 times at making fudge, even when I followed my father in law’s recipe exactly.
This is not that recipe. haha
This is a totally different and pretty much fool proof recipe! Best part? You don’t need a sinkin’ thermometer. Because really, how many of y’all have candy thermometers just laying around…
The last weekend of August held two very special birthdays for our family. My niece’s birthday was celebrated that Saturday and we spent Sunday on the Blue Ridge Parkway celebrating my dad’s birthday.
On our way up the winding road to Mabry Mill, we stopped in at Nancy’s Candy Company before we jumped on the parkway.
We all decided to split an order of fudge and I picked out the Fluffernutter Fudge for Thomas and I.
Because, Hello….Fluffernutter Fudge. Who’s gonna say no to that?
Oh, and if you don’t know what Fluffernutter is, it’s peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. It’s fantastic and normally it’s a sandwich.
But today we’re breaking the rules. Today we’re not making a Fluffernutter sandwich. We’re making Fluffernutter Fudge.
You’ll love it.
I promise.
I mean really y’all, just look at those layers.
This stuff is addictive and once I made it to photograph for the blog I had to get it out of the house or I was going to be in big trouble! I wanted to eat every last piece.
But no, I resisted.
I had my little nibble and the rest had to go!
I packed up some for Thomas to take to work and then I packed up 10 more little baggies full of Homemade Fluffernutter Fudge for my friends.
I’m a giver. haha 😉
Homemade Fluffernutter Fudge
This Homemade Fluffernutter Fudge has layers of Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Peanut Butter Fudge stacked on top of each other for the perfect Fluffernutter dessert!
Ingredients
- 4 cups peanut butter chips (I used Reese Peanut Butter chips)
- 2 (14 oz ) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 (16 oz) bags of mini marshmallows
- 1 cup peanuts
Instructions
Line a 8x8 pan with foil or parchment paper.
Create a double broiler by place a glass or metal bowl over top of a sauce pan. Fill the sauce pan with about 1/2 a cup of water. Bring the water to a simmer. (There should be enough water in the pan to simmer to but enough to touch the top bowl.)
Add the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter chips to the top bowl. Heat until the peanut butter chips are melted, stirring every minute or so.
While the peanut butter chips are melting, melt the butter in another large pot. Add 1 bag of marshmallows and stir until they start to melt. Remove them from the heat.
Once the peanut butter chips have melted, pour about 1/4 of a cup of the melted peanut butter chips and vanilla into the melting marshmallows and stir.
Pour the rest melted peanut butter chips into the 8x8 pan.
Sprinkle a layer of peanuts over the fudge.
Add the layer of melted marshmallows and peanut butter.
Top with 2nd bag of marshmallows
Let sit for 4-5 hours or until firm.
Cut into squares.
I so have to make this fudge and share it with my mom! Too bad my dad will miss out (he’s a peanut butter hater…the gall!) I’ve been waiting for this post since I first see you post pics on FB! Thank you for sharing!
Hooray for no candy thermometers! This looks delicous!
Oh I am totally horrible at making fudge so I can relate haha I like to have a fail proof recipe in my back pocket!! Love it!
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I would not be able to share if I were you 🙂
foolproof and FLAWLESS-I adore fluffernutter anything!
I’m not normally a fudge person but holy crap this is amazing!
It sounds as though you married into an awesome baking family! Peanut butter and marshmallows sounds like every fudge lover’s dream.
I’ve never had great luck making fudge either….but I think I could handle a fail-proof version! This looks delicious!
This recipe is a disaster. All of the ingredients you have listed will never fit in a 8×8 pan with a 16 ounce bag of marshmallows on top.
Hi Mary. I’m sorry you think it won’t work. Did you try it? I will say though that an 8×8 pan is the only size pan I use to make this fudge so I am 100% positive that it will fit.
I love fudge but never make it myself! Wanna send me some? 🙂
Wow your fudge looks terrific!! A fool proof recipe?! Heck yeah! Thanks for sharing, Angie! (And thanks for skipping your nap, too 😉 )
I’m pretty sure I gained 5 pounds just looking at this, and I’m totally OK with that. Because fluffernutter fudge?! Flipping brilliant.
Oooh, I love homemade fudge, and this looks amazing. Love those beautiful layers!
Oh dang girl you’re killing me with this fudge! It looks so freaking awesome I’m all over it! When I order ice cream sundaes I always mix peanut butter and marshmallow b/c it’s basically the best combo ever!
Haha! Only us bloggers would understand the need to get certain sweets we make outta the house asap or else we’d eat it all! Our neighbors sure are lucky! Great fudge…perfect for a food gift!
Would love to make this but recipe directions are shifted off screen and not fully visible.
Can you email me a copy,please?
Hey! Sorry about that and for the delay in responding. I just gave birth to our first little one so we’re adjusting to having a new born at home haha. I’ll e-mail you in just a minute 🙂
Hello Angie I have tried twice today to register for your once a week newsletter and I have not received any feedback from you. So I am hoping to receive your free e-book and looking forward to reading your newsletter. Thank you Kim
Hi Kim.
I’m not sure what kind of feedback you were looking for. I haven’t been at my computer today. I added you to the mailing list. 🙂
2 – 16 oz bags of mini marshmallows seeems like a too much for 8×8 pan? Are u sure it’s 2 whole bags 16 ounces or the 10 ounce bags? Let me know thanks
I’m positive that it is 2 – 16 oz bags. 1 bag goes into the peanut butter marshmallow fudge layer and one bag goes on top.
Did not turn out. Really messy to make too
Hi Fiona! So sorry to hear that it didn’t turn out well for you. Working with marshmallows and melting them can indeed be messy. What part didn’t turn out right?
