Why does my peanut butter fudge turn out lumpy?
The sugar has to melt completely into the warm butter-peanut butter mixture. If you see any gritty bits, pop the bowl back in the microwave for 15-second spurts, stirring well after each one, until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
What’s the key to great fudge?
Warm the butter and peanut butter in short bursts so they don’t scorch, combine everything until the mixture is silky, and let the pan chill fully before slicing. Those three steps guarantee creamy, flawless fudge every time.
