Does peanut butter fudge need to be refrigerated?

Peanut butter fudge actually can also be stored in the refrigerator, but the refrigerator can dry out the fudge, taking away the creaminess. If you choose to refrigerate it, be sure to store it in a tightly sealed container that can also be wrapped.

What Does Fudge Taste Like?

Large sugar crystals make fudge taste grainy, while very tiny sugar crystals result in a creamy, sweet fudge that tastes like delicious fudge.

Is it Easy to make Fudge?

All it takes to make a successful batch of fudge is timing and patience. There is nothing better than a homemade piece of fudge. No preservatives needed!

My Grandmother was a huge fan of fudge and this is her recipe. All of us grandchildren would dream about receiving a box of Peanut butter fudge every Christmas.

This is a perfectly simple combination of sweet, creamy, and salty that still remains a favorite for kids and adults alike today.
