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 Mixture
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, butter, and milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Continue boiling for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
- Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, stirring thoroughly after each addition until fully combined and creamy.
- Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Let it cool at room temperature for about 1 hour or until it firms up.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, cut the fudge into 16 squares and enjoy your rich, creamy peanut butter fudge delight.
Notes
- Ensure constant stirring during boiling to prevent the mixture from burning.
- You can substitute creamy peanut butter with crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- For a firmer fudge, refrigerate after it has cooled to room temperature.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
