I agree that the texture is very fudge-like but it's a little too salty. The recipe didn't specify what kind of butter to use, but I recommend using unsalted butter and unsalted peanut butter if you can get it. This will hold up at room temperature for quite a while as long as the room isn't too warm. It's best served cold though.
This recipe is fantastic-just thought I'd share. Since I'm on maintenance I'll drop a few semi sweet chocolate chips in to change it up. Delicious! Original recipe found here.
UPDATE: I've revised my star rating for this recipe. After making it again with unsalted butter, I think it rates 5 stars. This is one of the best low carb candies I've eaten and is very much like real fudge. I am going to tweak the sweetness a little the next time I make it but it's great the way it is.
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
2/3 cup whey protein powder, vanilla flavor, 2 scoops
Melt the butter and peanut butter together in the microwave on HIGH for 1-2 minutes; whisk well. Whisk in the cream cheese until well blended and smooth. Whisk in the Splenda then the whey protein powder and blend well. Line a 7 x 5" baking dish with wax paper or nonstick foil. Spread the fudge mixture in the pan and chill or freeze until set. Cut into 20 squares. Store in the refrigerator or freeze.
