Easy fudge Recipe
It’s a wonderfully easy recipe that anyone can make and it’s so much fun to make too! It has a perfectly smooth and creamy texture and is packed with peanut butter flavor. It’s so simple and and I love that it’s ready to eat within minutes. Customize your own fudge by simply switching out the frosting flavors or by using chocolate chips. I personally enjoy mine with a bit of sea salt sprinkled on top.
3-Ingredient Reese’s Fudge Ingredients
-Frosting: Using 1 container of vanilla frosting (the regular kind, not the fluffy/whipped version) we will help to create a sweet and creamy base for our fudge recipe.
-Peanut butter chips: We’re going to melt a 10-ounce bag of peanut butter chips for a rich flavor throughout our fudge.
-Reeses Pieces: A 10-ounce sized bag of Reese’s Pieces does more than just give this treat its namesake. They also provide us with colorful pieces of fun and a nice subtle crunch in every square.
How to Make Easy Fudge In the Microwave
Take off the foil seal and lid of a container of vanilla frosting and place it in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Place the peanut butter chips in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute.
Stir the melted frosting and chips together well in the bowl.
Add in about 3/4 of the bag of Reese’s Pieces.
Spread the mixture into a greased 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish and then top with the remaining Reese’s Pieces.
Let the fudge sit on the counter and cool for about 30 minutes until solid.
Slice into small squares and serve. Enjoy!
Where Can I Find The Mini Reese’s Pieces?
These tiny Reese’s candies can be hard to find, but I can almost always located them in the ice cream topping section of most grocery stores. If you’re having a hard time finding them, you can use the regular Reese’s Pieces.

How Long is Reeses Fudge Good For?
Store covered in an airtight container and this fudge lasts for several days. That is unless everyone catches on to the fact that it’s there… then it might just disappear fast!
Can I freeze peanut butter fudge?
Yes, absolutely! Feel free to freeze your fudge if you don’t think you can eat it all fast enough. I recommend slicing it into serving-sized squares before freezing in an airtight container as it just makes serving that much easier when the fudge thaws. Can last about 3 months in the freezer.

I was looking over the recipe and realized that you left out a step in the actual recipe card. It is in the instructions that are above the recipe card:
Stir the melted frosting and chips together well in the bowl.
Just FYI. 🙂

Just wondering what do you mean by the regular frosting icing? Is it just icing sugar and some water or milk? Love to make this for my son. Hope to win the Amazon gift card

In your grocery store’s baking aisle, next to the boxed cake mixes are little containers of frosting. This is what we meant 🙂 Grab a container of vanilla flavored frosting (or chocolate or cream cheese flavored work too) Make sure not to grab the ones that say fluffy or whipped as those wont turn out correctly.
Mary Ann says
Can you use peanut butter instead of chips in this recipe? Just wondering!
Nicole says
You can make fudge with a 16ounce container of vanilla frosting and a 16 ounce jar of peanut butter. add peanut butter to bowl. Melt frosting for about 60 seconds in the microwave and sir it into the PB until smooth. Pour into a baking dish and chill.
