Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
Flavorings
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Sugar
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it, ensuring the fudge won’t stick once set.
- Cook the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, butter, and milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat while stirring constantly until it reaches a rolling boil. Allow it to boil for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and homogeneous.
- Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add powdered sugar to the mixture, stirring continuously until fully combined into a creamy, thick fudge batter.
- Pour and Set: Pour the thick fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula and let it cool at room temperature for about one hour until it firms up.
- Cut and Serve: Once the fudge is set, cut it into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy this rich, creamy peanut butter fudge delight!
Notes
- Make sure to stir constantly during boiling to avoid burning the sugar mixture.
- Using creamy peanut butter ensures a smooth texture without chunks.
- For firmer fudge, refrigerate after it cools until completely set.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to one week.
- Adjust powdered sugar slightly if you prefer a less sweet or firmer fudge consistency.
