Best Peanut Butter for Peanut Butter Fudge:
As much as I love natural peanut butter, you don’t want to use it in this recipe. Stick with traditional creamy peanut butter (I almost always use Jif).
Fudge making tip:
The fudge-making process works best if you put the marshmallow fluff and peanut butter into bowls (as pictured above) before adding them to the milk/sugar mixture. That way you can add them quickly and make sure everything melts together without separation.
