How to Make Peanut Butter Fudge No-Bake Cookies
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy removal of the cookies.
- Melt the butter and peanut butter: In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter and peanut butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and combined.
- Add the sugar and milk: Once the peanut butter and butter are melted and smooth, stir in the powdered sugar, milk, and a pinch of salt. Keep stirring until everything is well-combined and smooth.
- Add graham cracker crumbs: Remove the mixture from heat and fold in the graham cracker crumbs and vanilla extract. Stir until the crumbs are fully incorporated into the mixture. The dough should be thick but pliable.
- Press into the pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Press it down gently to make sure it’s compact.
- Chill and set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1 hour, or until the cookies are firm and set. (Alternatively, you can roll into balls and press flat for more of a cookie shape.)
- Cut into squares: Once the cookies have chilled and hardened, remove them from the refrigerator. Lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper, and cut into squares or bars.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve these irresistible peanut butter fudge cookies and enjoy the delicious sweetness in every bite!
So, whether you’re whipping these up for a midnight snack or impressing guests at a potluck, Peanut Butter Fudge No-Bake Cookies prove that delicious doesn’t have to mean complicated. Enjoy them!
