Raw peanut butter fudge. Even better than regular peanut butter fudge because you don't have to wait for it to cook!

When I was little there were several things I used to eat by the spoonful straight from the jar or container. I'm embarrassed to say that icing sugar was one of them.
I loved the way I could empty a scoop onto my tongue and close my mouth and feel it dissolve away in sweet goodness.
My other favourite was peanut butter. The way it coated my mouth with peanuty deliciousness was irresistible.
Today, peanut butter straight from the jar is still a sneaky treat I indulge in every now and then but something that is a little bit classier and just as delicious is raw peanut butter fudge.
This fudge has just four ingredients and takes literally minutes to make.
The texture was almost just like a smooth fudge. I think if I'd processed it a little longer it would have been pretty hard to spot the difference between this and the naughty original.
I know I seem totally obsessed with dates at the moment and I am. I really am. They're so versatile and so very yummy.
I enjoyed my as a morning tea treat with a cup of tea and some of them as an after dinner treat. Enjoy!

I think this fudge sounds wonderful. I'd feel righteous when eating it too. :)

Haha that's how I feel when I sneak one of my raw chocolates at breakfast time. It's healthy so it doesn't count right?

Hehe icing sugar huh? I loved lots of sugar in milk. And of course peanut butter, that's the best thing ever :D
Claire says
Oh yes I used to have so much sugar on my cereal!

I used to get into the opened cans of condensed milk - still do. I love how this fudge has so few ingredients and your presentation, with the little heart shapes, is gorgeous xx
Claire says
Oh yum! I seem to remember a story of someone eating the condensed milk out of the tube. Might have been my mum actually.

This looks and sounds delicious! I can't wait to makes some, but first I need to make some more peanut butter. Thanks for the inspiration.
Claire says
Me too Clare! I forgot to buy peanuts in this week's shop so might have to make the next batch with almond butter.

Milo out of the tin. I still do it...My partner caught me in the pantry last week with the spoon in the tin!
Claire says
Haha I got caught eating milo out of a tin on school camp once!
