⭐ Tips
- Smooth texture: Use creamy peanut butter, not chunky.
- Optional toppings: Sprinkle chopped peanuts, chocolate drizzle, or sea salt before it sets.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature (up to 1 week) or in the fridge (2–3 weeks).
- For a chocolate-peanut butter version, melt ½ cup chocolate and swirl it into the fudge before it sets.
