Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the fudge from sticking once set.
- Cook the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, butter, and milk. Heat over medium heat while stirring constantly until the mixture reaches a rolling boil. Continue boiling for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
- Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar into the mixture, stirring continuously to achieve a creamy and uniform consistency without lumps.
- Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Spread it smoothly using a spatula and let it cool down at room temperature for about 1 hour until it firms up completely.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, cut the fudge into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy this rich, creamy peanut butter fudge delight with family and friends.
Notes
- For a firmer fudge, refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes after cooling at room temperature.
- You can substitute creamy peanut butter with crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- Ensure constant stirring when boiling to prevent the sugar mixture from burning.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Use parchment paper to easily lift the fudge out of the dish without breaking.
