Yep, saltines. I was a little skeptical but I gave it a try, and it was so easy. Very tasty. It doesn't have the consistency of fudge made with marshmallow but it is still good. I hope you give it a try. You can also stir in chocolate chips during step 3. Others have tried this recipe using different kinds of butter (such as almond butter) and Nutella. Have fun. It is a very versatile recipe.

Salty, sweet, and oh-so-good, this easy peanut butter fudge with saltines will be a terrific addition to any bake sale or holiday spread. It tastes like the filling of a peanut butter sandwich cookie. Thanks to the finely crushed saltine crackers, its texture is different than traditional creamy fudge.

How To Make easy peanut butter fudge with saltines

Test Kitchen Tips
We cut 90 1" bite-size pieces.
  • Heat butter, sugar, and milk.
    1
    Place the sugar, butter, and milk in a saucepan. Heat on medium until it starts to boil. Stir occasionally.
  • Once it starts to boil remove from the heat.
    2
    Once it starts to boil, boil for 1 minute only. Remove from heat. Be very careful as the liquid will be extremely hot. If it is lukewarm, you didn't bring it to a boil.
  • Stir in crushed saltines, peanut butter, and vanilla.
    3
    Stir in peanut butter, crushed saltines, and vanilla extract. To crush the saltines stick them in a plastic storage bag and roll a rolling pin over them. The key word here is crushed. You want them fine not in chunks.
  • Mix well.
    4
    Mix well.
  • Pour into a greased pan and chill.
    5
    Pour into a greased 8 x 8 pan and chill.
