Quick and Easy 5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge

This Five (Pantry) Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge is a great emergency fudge... It whips up in no time with items most of us easily have on-hand. Emergency fudge??? Can you relate? Yea, I thought so:@) Creamy and smooth, and of course it's peanut buttery and sweet. This is also easy enough for teenagers to make (read: great for sleep-overs or teacher gifts). And once again I suggest fudge for folks that don't bake but would like to bring something homemade to holiday gatherings. I think you'll be happy if you try this one folks!

I made a half batch in a 4x8" bread pan lined with Reynolds Release.
I couldn't smooth the top so I added the chocolate sprinkles and pushed them down with my fingers. Any seasonal sprinkles would look great.

One note: This does make a thinner batch (maybe 1/2" high) fudge. 
Either use a smaller dish or increase the recipe by half if you like a thicker piece of fudge.
