Brought to you by JELL-O. Anything can go wrong during the holidays. Except these recipes.
Welcome! Do these peanut butter fudge bites have you drooling?
That’s the exact effect that they have on me!
Have I mentioned that this peanut butter fudge recipe is just about the EASIEST no-bake dessert ever? You are going to LOVE this recipe!!
My mom’s Aunt Fern made a special fudge every year from a heavily guarded secret recipe. She refused to share her secret for years, despite the urgings of the other women in the family.
Her fudge remained a favorite holiday treat for years and she was the only one who would make it. Or at least that’s the story I’ve been told.
By the time I came around, my mom had been making Aunt Fern’s fudge for years. Because as much as Aunt Fern didn’t want to share her recipe, her sister, Violet didn’t care…and Violet had the recipe, too. The secret was out.
This holiday season I have a fudge recipe that is just as exciting as Aunt Fern’s not-so-secret recipe, with two very distinct differences: I am more than happy to share this recipe and my recipe is fast and easy to make (I can’t say the same about Aunt Fern’s fudge).
This peanut butter fudge with butterscotch JELL-O Instant Pudding was an instant hit. We have found a new permanent item on our Christmas cookie and candy plates that we deliver to neighbors.
I think I’ve eaten at least 10 of these peanut butter fudge bites myself.
Can you blame me?

For some odd reason, my recipe plugin occasionally/randomly changes fractions to question marks. The recipe calls for 1/3 cup water. I’ve edited that back in the recipe. Hopefully it will stick! Thanks for pointing that out so that I could fix it! :)
Karla says
Why the question mark next to water ? Is there an amount ?
Janet W. says

Liza @ Views From the 'Ville says
I seriously had no idea you could make fudge using JELL-O! I always eat my Gram’s Peanut Butter fudge because it’s amazing, but it’s a lot of work to make. I think this recipe looks more manageable.
Tammilee says
hello yum! Oh my goodness this recipe looks amazing. I can’t wait to try this recipe
Nicole B says
That is a fun story about Aunt Fern and her fudge. Your Jello fudge looks yummy. I’d never guess you could make fudge with a pudding mix. Cool! I’m putting it on my must try list for sure!

Smooth and creamy and perfectly sized for bite after bite. I love these!

I’m all about easy! This looks great! It’d be fun to play around with their different flavors for variety.

Your fudge looks so good! I use JELL-O in a ton of my recipes but never thought to use it to make fudge, that’s a fab idea!
