When I am asked to donate for bake sales or concession stands, I normally say yes, then whip up this super easy and low cost Peanut Butter Fudge. It also makes a great gift, especially in a pinch.
Ingredients - 1 – Jar of any brand peanut butter – 16.3 oz
1 – Tub ready made frosting any flavor ( I like the plain vanilla,the best)
Empty peanut butter and frosting into a microwave safe container.
Microwave on high for 1 min, stir
Micorwave on high for 1 min stir until smooth.
Pour mixture into lightly greased glass pan. (8 x 8, works best)
Smooth out, then refrigerate until hard .
I always get lots of compliments on my fudge. I have had my children’s friends request it.
I made this over the weekend and it cost me. $3.02 to make. That was running in to the
store, grabbing what I needed and out again. I am sure if you use coupons and stock up
during sales, the cost could be lower yet.
Thanks and enjoy!
Sorry I didn’t get a picture before the kids dug in!

I am definitely going to try this. Thanks for the tip!
Try it with chunky peanut butter! Totally awesome! And I cheat, I heat the frosting and peanut butter in their containers for 30 seconds at a time (you don’t always need the full minute) just make sure you get every little scrap of foil off the top!
Love love love this!
thanks for commenting Kati! Love the tip about microwaving in containers..

Just mixed up a batch of this ….. but used NUTELLA for half the peanut butter (did not have a full jar of PB). Can we say AWESOME!? OK, I know, not quite as thrifty. Thanks for your recipe — I have made this before but never knew to microwave it, that really helps with the spreading in the pan, and improves the final texture as well.
QUESTION: How do you package it for bake sales? The batch I just made is for exactly that!
Wow what a great idea to use nutella! Yum!
When I pacakge for back sales I usually cut into 3 or 4 one inch squares put it on a small styrofoam plate and cover with plastic wrap!
Good Luck with the sale!
