High Five Recipes: Peanut Butter Honey Fudge

High Five Recipes 2

You know me…I love me some fudge. This is by far the easiest fudge I have ever made.  And the healthiest.

Peanut Butter Honey Fudge

Peanut Butter Honey FudgeYum

1 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until the chocolate chips are melted and blended in (about 30 seconds).

Spread fudge into an 8×8 inch pan. Refrigerate until solid. Cut into 1 inch squares.
————————————

Now, you might be thinking…3/4 cup of honey?! That’s going to take up a lot of my honey! (Yes, Pooh Bear, you’re right.)

But you cut this fudge into little squares, and it really does go a long way. OOh, and it’s so simple and yummy! (So sorry all you peanut allergy friends out there!)

This is a super simple dessert to throw together real quickly to take somewhere…no baking involved. Hardly any time involved. Very little mess involved.

Oh, and you’ve gotta love a High Five Recipe with only THREE ingredients!! :)

    Ohh, yummy! Where do you get your chocolate chips? I can’t find any without soy or chemicals. And I can’t seem to find a recipe for making milk chocolate chips either.

    And I’d love to see the popcorn chicken recipe.

    Hello there, I have left a comment here before, but under a different email. I have had to change my email as someone has stolen my email and contacted all my contacts. They have sent an email that I am in England and lost my wllet and need money. This is not true. I am very much at home in Edmonton, Alberta.

    I am letting you know just in case you ever sent me an email. I don’t think you were on my list, but i wanted to be sure you were notified in case you did get this email.

    My new email is [email protected] . Please delete my previous email address.

    Much Appreciated,

    Lynn…I use Natural Value peanut butter that I order from Azure Standard.

    The chocolate chips I usually use for this fudge is just Hershey’s milk chocolate that I get from Walmart. I need to look into what they have from Azure Standard.

    Michelle…I’m sure you could use molasses for all or part of the honey…I’d say experiment and see what ya get!

    I think I’ll get one of the kids to make this fudge. They like “real” peanut butter (the yucky kind with lots of preservatives) instead of my natural brand. However, if the pb comes cleverly disguised as fudge, then they’ll eat it for sure.

    I just tuned in to your blog today, as a link from another friend’s blog who got it from a friend of hers…..These recipes sound good. Whichever one you post next, I’ll try it. When we lived in Nashville, TN back in the 1960’s my mom was asked to bring Dressed eggs to the church potluck. We were from Montana, and she thought it might be some southern specialty, so she asked someone how to make them. When she found out, she said, “Oh, you mean deviled eggs!” Well, that didn’t go over too well in a CHURCH setting.

    Maybe I should make this kind next Christmas instead of the 5 pound wonder recipe that is still on my hips. (I’d eat it all again though; I think it was worth it. But now I must stop thinking about it or I will be sorely tempted to make some again. Do you think fudge should be an Easter tradition as well as a Christmas tradition?!)

    I just made this. I was excited to see that it did not call for butter, since my daughter was just diagnosed with a soy and dairy allergy. It was my first time using non-dairy chocolate chips and all I could find was semi sweet. It turned out great and lasted about a day, with our family of six, only because it was so rich that we had to eat little bits at a time. Thanks so much!

    This sounds delicious and another great way to get my granddaughter to eat peanut butter. But I’ll probably use Agave syrup. Similar consistency, so should work well. Thanks for the great recipes! It’s so great to stumble upon a site where health is as much a focus as pleasure (and pleasure, obviously, as much a focus as health!). Yum!

    When I was little my dad used to make me his poor man ice cream topping, and this reminded me of it. It was maple syrup and peanut butter mixed together. I love this recipe b/c of the chocolate in it. So….. I am going to use this recipe and pour it over my ice cream when it is warm, and then next time use the syrup instead of the honey and see how it is! (My dad would hate it though, he hates chocolate!)

    So, I am wondering if this would turn out if I substituted Sunbutter for peanut butter (kiddo is anaphylactic to peanuts) and used a combo of agave nectar and maple syrup in place of the honey (I am allergic to honey). Crazy that I would even click on this recipe, huh?

    Literally I had no time to sit and think about doing this one, I just saw it and did it. BTW with mine I put about 4x the amount of chocolate chips and a 1/4 cup more of honey. I like honey :)

      I think it would work fine to leave out the chocolate chips, but you probably want to cut down the honey to about 1/2 cup.

    Cashew butter, raw local honey, white chocolate and some finely chopped cashews.

    Cashew is very neutral, white chocolate is delicate, so the flavor of our local honey wasn’t hidden. It was very much the star of the recipe. Thanks!
