Peanut butter candy made using just TWO ingredients, is rich, smooth, creamy and will have people asking begging for the recipe! This candy is crazy good! It’s like the creamiest peanut butter fudge, but it’s super easy to make, because it’s made in the microwave, takes just minutes to make and no candy thermometer is required.
Ok….so here are the two ingredients you need to make this:
Almond Bark (AKA: vanilla flavored candy coating) and a jar of creamy peanut butter.
Two Ingredient Peanut Butter Candy
Print RecipeIngredients
- 24-ounce package White Almond Bark or Candi-Quik, chopped into chunks
- 18-ounce jar of creamy peanut butter
- 8-ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate (optional)
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with baking spray. Set aside.
In a large microwave safe bowl, add the entire package of almond bark or Candi-Quik. Chopping it into chunks first will speed up the melting time. Melt the almond bark in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, checking and stirring every 20-seconds. Remove from the microwave once the almond bark is melted. You don't want to over heat the almond bark or it will scorch. Immediately add the entire jar of peanut butter to the melted almond bark. Stir until both ingredients are completely incorporated. Pour mixture into prepared pan and spread it evenly in the pan. Let set on the counter to cool for 10-minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to finish cooling.
Option to melt 8-ounces of chocolate and spread over cooled peanut butter mixture.
Once candy is completely cooled, cut into desired sized squares.
Notes
Store candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For a peanut butter and chocolate candy, just add a layer of melted chocolate chips on top.
Almond bark, or Candi Quik, can usually be found by the chocolate chips at the grocery store and I have seen it sold at Target and Walmart too.

February 22, 2017 at 8:42 AMchocolate and pb?! yes please, all day every day. i tried a brazillian peanut butter candy that tasted like the inside of a peanut butter cup the other day; it was delicious but crumbly, and got everywhere. this has that same sweet peanut vibe going on, but hopefully creamier and less mess (:

February 26, 2017 at 4:25 PMWow! Just two ingredients! Love the idea to add the milk chocolate on top for a Reeces taste! Thanks for linking up with Funtastic Friday!

February 26, 2017 at 5:17 PMHi Heidi! Two ingredients is great, but I think the chocolate is worth adding it as a third ingredient to totally makes these like Reese’s! Thanks for having me on Fantastic Fridays! XOXO 🙂

February 27, 2017 at 9:40 PMThe honest truth? I literally ate almost an entire sandwich bag of this fudge in one sitting the other night. It’s that good. The only recommendation I would give for the next time you make this Kelly is to ration my portions that way I can enjoy it for more then one sitting!
