Butterscotch Peanut Fudge is going to be your new favorite fudge recipe! Butterscotch, peanut butter, and peanuts – it’s the perfect mix of sweet and salty.
I realize this Butterscotch Peanut Fudge is probably a weird fudge to most people
But hear me out.
My favorite way to eat candy corn (stick with me) is with salted peanuts. And then one year when I ran out of candy corn, I realized that butterscotch chips and salted peanuts are just as delicious together. Seriously, go pour a couple of each into your hand and then toss it all into your mouth.
Do it.
Now admit that I was right.
This fudge is that but… fudgy.
This is one of my favorite fudge recipes. Have you noticed that I’m not super into chocolate fudge? I like the weird ones like this or that Pumpkin Pie one. Definitely give this a try if you’re into the weird candy like I am!
Also, really easy. No need for a candy thermometer. You literally just melt everything together and pour it in a pan.
(I also have a Candy Corn Fudge recipe because I love that candy corn/peanut combo so much!)

How Long Is Homemade Fudge Good For?
Homemade fudge will stay good for several weeks if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I love these glass airtight containers because they are super airtight and keep everything fresh for as long as possible.
Can You Freeze Homemade Fudge
You can freeze this butterscotch peanut fudge for up to 3 months.
I recommend wrapping the fudge in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and then placing it in a freezer ziploc bag.
To defrost, just let it sit in the fridge overnight.
