Ingredients

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky, depending on preference)
• 3 cups powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, milk, and unsalted butter.

Step 3

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring, until slightly thickened. Be cautious to avoid overcooking.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter. Mix until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the powdered sugar, stirring continuously, until a thick, fudge-like consistency forms.

Step 7

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 30-40 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until fully set.

Step 9

Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board.

Step 10

Slice into 16 equal squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
