Ingredients
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3.5 cups Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, milk, and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil.
Step 3
Once boiling, allow the mixture to cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Step 4
Quickly stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition, until the mixture forms a thick, smooth consistency.
Step 6
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Step 7
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
Step 8
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper (if used) and cut it into 16 squares or your desired portion size.
Step 9
Store the peanut butter fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
