Christmas Fudge For Gifting


Simple and irresistible, this melt-in-the-mouth peanut butter fudge is sure to be received with a smile!

Preparation time: 10min
Cooking time: 5min + 1hr cooling
Serves: 12

Ingredients:

  • 1 x 340g jar SKIPPY® Peanut Butter Extra Smooth
  • 125ml whole milk
  • 400g sugar
  • 200g marshmallow fluff
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼tsp salt
  • Sugar sprinkles, to decorate (look out for festive themed sprinkles in shops!)

To make:

  1. In a medium non-stick saucepan, combine the milk and sugar.
  2. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Then reduce the heat to medium low, stirring constantly for 2-3min.
  3. Remove from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter and remaining ingredients.
  4. Transfer the fudge mixture to a lightly greased 20 x 20 x 5 cm cake tin.
  5. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate until ready to hand over. Cut the fudge into 6cm squares, pile into gift boxes or bags, and add  a generous amount of sugar sprinkles before sealing with tape or ribbon.

Cook’s tip: The fudge will keep fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for a week, or in the freezer for 2 months. Add to your place settings on Christmas Day, or pop in cellophane bags or gift boxes as a wonderful treat for friends and family.
