Soft peanut butter fudge is one of my favorite Christmas treats and this recipe comes together super fast with just 4 ingredients! 

I remember my grandma best when I’m in the kitchen. I mean I’ll never forget how she used to listen to me complain about the stresses of school or offer advice after my parent’s got divorced. But I can really picture her when I’m in the kitchen, my finger dragging down the page of one of her vaguely written recipes, whipping up some of her favorites that will never not make me think of her.

As far as Christmas cookies go there will never be a recipe better than her sandtarts. Soft but crispy butter cookies that are best served warm and practically melt in your mouth. Then there’s her cheesecake. A secret family recipe you’ll never see on the blog because it’s just that important to us. There’s pounded steak and mashed potatoes which I request every year for my birthday. Chicken and waffles {with gravy, not syrup!}, shoo fly pie, biscuit cookies, and cream cheese frosting.

The list is endless. But when I think holidays and I think fudge I think of this soft peanut butter fudge. Just four ingredients and 10 minutes are all it takes to whip this up. Each bite melts in your mouth and takes me back to my childhood, standing on a chair helping my grandma bake at Christmastime. I was the official Hershey’s kiss unwrapper for the peanut butter blossoms. Good thing she always got extra in anticipation of me eating almost as many as I unwrapped.

You won’t need the microwave on this one but it is just as simple! I won’t call this a traditional recipe because we skip the corn syrup but the addition of marshmallow fluff is what helps this set up so fast but also keeps it creamy. You won’t want to miss this recipe!
