❓ Q&A
1. Can I use regular peanut butter instead of powdered?
You can, but it will increase WW points and make the fudge richer and softer. Powdered peanut butter keeps it lighter.
2. What’s the best sugar substitute to use?
Powdered erythritol or monk fruit blends work well. Make sure it’s a confectioners-style (powdered) version for smooth texture.
3. Why is my fudge grainy?
This can happen if the sugar doesn’t dissolve fully. Stir thoroughly after microwaving while the mixture is hot.
4. Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes—just swap the butter for plant-based butter or coconut oil.
5. How should I store it?
Keep it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for the best texture. It can soften at room temperature.
6. Can I freeze it?
Yes! Freeze in a sealed container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before eating.
7. How can I add flavor variations?
-
Vanilla extract for extra sweetness
-
Cocoa powder for chocolate peanut fudge
-
A pinch of sea salt for contrast
💡 Quick Tips
-
Sprinkle sea salt or mini chocolate chips on top (adds points)
-
Use sugar-free sweetener to reduce points further
-
Line your pan with parchment for easy removal
