peanut butter

No need to refrigerate, no texture-wrecking shortcuts like sweetened condensed milk — which results in disappointing fudge that won’t hold its shape at room temperature — and a result that outshines anything you can do with a microwave and powdered sugar. Quality peanut butter fudge isn’t easy to make, but I promise you can handle it. I’ve adopted some of the shortcuts that don’t compromise on flavor or texture, so this recipe isn’t exactly how your great grandma made it, but the result is indistinguishable. At least it is indistinguishable from how my own late grandmother made it.

Real Peanut Butter Fudge

Little crunchy bits of peanut butter cookie. Put it on stuff. In stuff. A dangerous snack to keep around, consider yourself warned.

Peanut Butter Cookie Crumble

This bake sits exactly halfway between Peanut Butter Fudge, and Blondies. The bars are dense, nutty, barely crumbly, and rich like fudge. But they're also a little chewy, with the papery crust you'd expect from any half-decent brownie or blondie. If you like peanut butter, these are for you.

Marbled Peanut Butter Chocolate Boulders

This homemade peanut butter swirl takes a bit more work than store-bought cookie mix-ins, but the results are absolutely worth it.

Peanut Butter Boulders 🧡

Peanut butter cookies seem to come in two varieties. One is greasy and exploding with peanut flavor. The other is crisper but tends to be a little bland. I think I found the middle-ground here. They are not greasy, but crisp around the edges, and they will punch you in the mouth with peanut flavor. The addition of cinnamon brings an extra layer of complexity, and reminds me of a frequent childhood snack — a Honey Maid graham cracker slathered in creamy JIF peanut butter.

Spiced Peanut Butter Cookies

Years in the making, this recipe is freedom from Reeses baking-aisle tyranny. They taste better too. These can be subbed in for some or all of the store-bought baking chips or morsels a recipe might call for.
