RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

I use a good quality smooth peanut butter for the creamiest consistency.
You could substitute peanut butter for cashew butter if you prefer.
If the mixture is too thick when your icing sugar has been added, just add a touch of milk and mix this through.
Line your baking tin with baking paper to allow for easy removal once the fudge has been chilled and is ready to be cut into pieces.
Chill for a minimum of 30 minutes (if you can't wait any longer!) or up to 2 hours to firm up well.
Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares once it has chilled. See my instructions on how to cut the perfect slice for tips on presentation.
Store microwave peanut butter fudge for up to a week in an airtight container at room temperature, or for 2-3 weeks in the fridge.
Freezing - wrap fudge well in clear wrap or foil and place in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before consuming.
