Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?

I totally get wanting that extra crunch, but trust me - stick with creamy. Crunchy peanut butter makes the texture weirdly lumpy instead of that smooth melt-in-your-mouth perfection we're after. If you want crunch, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top before chilling instead.

How long does this peanut butter fudge keep?

In an airtight container in the fridge, it'll stay dreamy for about a week (if it lasts that long). You can also freeze it for up to 3 months - just thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving. Bonus: frozen fudge cuts cleaner.

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely. Just use a 9x13-inch pan instead and keep all the same steps. Doubling works perfectly for holiday gifts or parties. My kids beg me to make extra batches for their lunchboxes.

Why did my fudge turn out oily?

Ah, been there. Usually means the peanut butter and butter got too hot while melting. Next time, keep the heat low and stir constantly. Also, avoid natural peanut butters - they separate like crazy in this recipe.

Can I microwave instead of stovetop?

Sure can, Use 30-second bursts, stirring well between each. Just don't walk away - peanut butter burns fast. The stovetop gives more control, but microwaving works in a pinch.
