    If you enjoy fudge, this *60-second* recipe might be right for you. At your local grocery store, in the Mexican food section, pirchase Coronado's *Cajeta de quemada* and then some non-sweetened peanut butter. Mix equal parts in a bowl, stirring for 60 seconds (it will get stiff). Perfect fudge! No heating required. *NOTE* make sure that the caramel is made with *goat's* milk and not cow's milk.
    After the magic *_Fudgematic_* reaction, I like to take small scoops, roll them into a ball and then coat with a very light coating of finely ground instant coffee (optional)

      I "discovered" this recipe when I was looking for a little bit "extra" for my late night snack of vanilla ice cream. I only had a tiny bit of Nutells left over and a tiny bit of cajeta. So...what's a guy to do? I mixed them together and ended up with a delicious fudge, instead of a pourable topping.
      Why this scientific magic happens, I haven't a clue. I've contacted both companies for insight, to no avail. I've contacted food geek, Alton Browm, and received no reply. My *GUESS* is that the protein in goat's milk is different and when it comes in contact with another protein it becomes intertwined and causes this [very tasty] reaction. The bonus pf this "recipe" is that you can make a single serving to cure that craving. Also...try it with chocolate topping and cajeta. I've even tried it with my homemade cashew butter. It just works!

    The peanut butter and vanilla frosting works well. I made five kinds of fudge for family Thanksgiving a couple weeks ago. One was plain creay peanut butter, the other i used crunchy peanut butter and dusted it with crushed peanut powder, both were hits.
    The remaining types were a separate 2 ingredient recipe, using chocholate chips, and sweetened condensed milk.
    One can of the condensed milk in a big bowl, and toss one bag of chocolate chips, then put in the microwave for 30 second intervals, andstir in between until incorporated.
    I made three types, all in which i added some vanilla extract. One was milk chocolate which after chilled and cubed was tossed in cocoa powder.
    One was dark chocolate which i also added rum extract to, along with chopped walnuts and chopped dried cherries (i called it black forest fudge).
    And one was using white chocolate chips, and i added peppermint extract to. I also separated about a quarter cup aside and also added red food coloring to, and did feathered swirls on the top of before chilling.
    There are lots of fun combinations. I almost did a white chocolate and cranberry one. I wanted to make a double batch in an large tin, with chocolate fudge on the bottom, and peanut butter on top. Because of how easy the two ingredient recipes are, and how quick, it allows for a huge array of options.
    Next, i may make a milk chocolate one, add cinnamon, clove, cardamom and other seasonal spices, along with ginger (both powdered, and chunks of candied ginger) as it will then taste like german gingerbread. Chai spices in chocolate do that.
    Let me know if you try any new options, or like mine. Happy holidays

      When I'm craving candy and have none in the house I mix a little bit of peanut butter with honey, maple syrup, pancake syrup or Karo syrup and I have a little bit of something very similar to peanut butter fudge in a flash. I only make enough to equal about a 2 inch square of fudge. I learned to do that by stirring some honey into my peanut butter for a less messy honey and peanut butter sandwich one day and was surprised when the peanut butter sized right up, it was not heated was right out of the jar.

    We make the kind with icing every year. I prefer the crumbly texture over the denser versions of fudge because it doesn't stick to my teeth as much. But it's nice because it's still not dry like some fudges I've eaten in the past. It's really good with chocolate icing too. And like you said, it's not sickenly sweet so you can eat a little bit more than you can with some other fudges. Sometimes, I leave about 1-2 tablespoons of icing behind and it's even better (in my opinion). It does change the texture, but I really like how it cuts back on the sweetness and lets the peanut butter shine.

    My guess is that the peanut butter thickened because it reacted with some acidic ingredient in the frosting. Nut and seed butters "seize" with exposure to acids, that's why tahini dressings need to be thinned with water after using lime or vinegar.

    I'm really tempted to try the frosting recipe but use chocolate frosting to make chocolate peanut butter fudge. Even if it's not that great it's not going to be bad. When I make fudge I usually use the Hershey's cocoa recipe that used to be on the cans. I even make Penuche fudge with that recipe by replacing one cup of white sugar with a cup of dark brown sugar and eliminating the cocoa powder. It's comes out great but this recipe isn't for beginners. It takes practice to know when it's about to set up so you have time to get it in the pan before it solidifies which happens quickly.

    The peanut butter/white chocolate mixture js my base for making Avalanche bark. I add mini chocolate chips, rice crispies, and mini marshmallows. The texture of the fudge is a perfect contrast for those ingredients.

    I wonder how both of these would hold up sitting at room temp for an extended period of time? As for texture, could you use half frosting, half bark/chocolate to get a middle ground of the benefits of both? Cound be interesting to experiment with! (As well as other types of chocolate, different mix ins, etc). I wonder if you could use other kinds of nut butter, too? Almond butter and dark chocolate would be very yummy!

    I’m always skeptical of these "simple" recipes, but that frosting fudge looks like it might be close to what I consider fudge. I like fudge that has that crumbly texture. It’s hard to get the right texture without a cooked-sugar base, but that’s a major project. Having a simpler version might come in handy.

    Hey Emmy, I was intrigued by the peanut butter and icing fudge, so I tried it today. I've never made it that way, so I thought what the heck. I done a little twist on the recipe though. I used cream cheese icing (just because that's what I had in the cupboard). I also added about a cup of powdered sugar just to thicken it up a little. It turned out fantastic. It is nice and creamy, and has a good consistency. And oooh the peanut butter flavor.....❤️
    Thanks for the recipe. Love your channel.

  • @deadpoet4
    @deadpoet4 11 місяців тому

    If you find the smoother mouthfeel of the quick fudges off-putting, adding 1-2 tbl spoons of the appropriate instant pudding mix gives them a more fudge-like consistency. For the frosting one, I'd remove 1-2 tbl spoons of frosting and replace it with 1-2 tbl spoons of instant vanilla pudding mix. It "ruins" the 2 ingredient aspect, but gives a better end result.

  • @jaixc

    Emmy, you could try using a bag of those Andes Mint Chips with some of that super whipped fluffy vanilla frosting. I know this video was based on Peanut Butter Fudge, but I just wanted to share this with you, all depends if you're a mint fanatic like some of us are. I actually make this fudge after I've make a batch of mint chocolate chip cookies, I just let the cookies cool down to room temp before you dip the entire cookie in this fudge and put them on parchment paper to firm up in your freezer, and leave them in there for awhile, the mint taste with the cold is quite awesome might I add.. It's basically a double mint chocolate chip fudge coated cookie.. The fudge will coat about 12 decently 2 1/2" sized cookies if you go this route. I got this idea when I ate some of those chocolate covered Milano cookies with a York Peppermint Pattie sandwiched between them, I know super ghetto cookie sandwich, but I wanted chocolate cookies with mint and all of the mint Milano cookies were sold out.. and was like.. I want mint fudge cookies! So I went down this rabbit hole with 10 minute fudge and mint chocolate chip cookies.. it's a simple idea but I got want I wanted and more out of this.

    Your background and instruction blend so well. So thorough! You are very methodical and the time passes quickly. Adept at confusing and involved things that need simplified. Remembering the pine needle Sprite! One question...can you make something so saturated in calories without the massive calorie count but still is eatable as the original? Swerve sugar replacement or a stevia replacement? Way too many calories at the holidays. Once people discover ingredients and how made it has a tendency to pause for a common sense check. Like a cookbook entitled: "How To Be A Glutton And still Survive." Can you do it?

    The liquified sugar makes the peanut butter start siezing up. Something about the protein and fat globules. Same reason water ruins chocolate. And the same happens if you add a small amount of water to tahini, it thickens into a paste instantly.

All I can remember is sugar and vinegar boiled to hard crack then pulled til turned to taffy and hardened and broken into small pieces like peanut brittle.

Cook on stove till all chocolate is melted and then add vanilla. Pour into pan and let cool before cutting into pieces. You can make peanut butter fudge just by using peanut butter chips instead of the chocolate ones. So good and easy!

    My Nan was known for doing fudge for special occasions, and I sorta took up the mantle, she always used a little bit of margarine, a can of condensed milk and some milk chocolate melts. I'm not sure of the origin of the recipe she used, but certainly, her family had been in Australia for quite a long time before I was born, with a confirmed British convict and settler being the start of her family tree.
