Peanut Butter Fudge (Slow Cooker)

Adapted from Lazy Slow Cooker Peanut Butter Fudge by the The Lazy Slow Cooker and the recipe is here.
I seen this recipe on Instagram and was intrigued by the use of a slow cooker, and the author of the recipe, The Lazy Slow Cooker states, "...this can also be made in a double boiler on the stovetop, but with the slow cooker, there is no cleaning of the cooker insert when using a liner..." That statement had me hooked. A few days later I bought the ingredients and made it today, 11 Jul 2021. And it is excellent fudge!

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker (3½+ quart)
  • Slow Cooker Liner

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bags peanut butter chips, (10 oz / 283 g each, I used Reese's brand)
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • toppings, of your choice, chocolate chips, M&Ms, chopped candy bars, etc. Optional.

Instructions
 

  • Place a liner in your slow cooker, then add the chips and add the peanut butters right on top. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and add the vanilla. Don't worry about mixing as you will just get a gooey ball of chips and peanut butter. Cover and turn your slow cooker to High setting and set a timer for 30 minutes.
  • At the 30 minute mark, remove the cover, stir with a rubber spatula (you do not want to tear the liner) to mix everything together. If the chips are not fully melted, cover and continue on High setting for 15 minutes. Repeat until the chips are melted in and everything is mixed together. I had to do the stir after 15 minutes twice, all depends on your slow cooker.
  • When it is all melted, turn off the slow cooker and at this point add your topping of choice if desired. I sprinkled on 1 cup of mini chocolate chips.
  • Set out a rack on a heat proof surface, place the slow cooker insert on the rack and let the insert and fudge cool for at least 3-4 hours.
  • Once cooled, lift out the liner and place on a cutting board, cut the fudge into 1 inch squares. Place on a serving tray or trays, Number of pieces will depend on the diameter of your slow cooker and used 2 plates to put them on, I got 36.
  • Serve and enjoy!
