Ingredients

1 1/2 cups creamy Reese's peanut butter
1 14 oz jar vanilla frosting
1/3- 1/2 cup Reese's pieces candy optional

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Add the peanut butter to a microwave safe bowl, and microwave in 20 second increments (stirring in between) until melted and smooth.
1 1/2 cups creamy Reese's peanut butter
Add the frosting to the bowl, stirring together until evenly incorporated.
1 14 oz jar vanilla frosting
Using a spatula, transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared dish, then spread it out in an even layer- smoothing it as you go. If using, sprinkle the candies evenly out overtop.
1/3- 1/2 cup Reese's pieces candy
Refrigerate for 2 hours until the fudge has set.
Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

When combining the melted peanut butter and frosting, whisk the mixture together quickly since the mixture will begin to thicken as it cools.
The fudge is a soft fudge, it will never be rock hard and will soften quickly when removed from the refrigerator. Leftovers will need to go back in the fridge when done.
You can use any brand of frosting for this recipe.
