Ingredients

• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Evaporated milk
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 cups Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil while stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar completely.

Step 4

Once the mixture reaches a boil, continue cooking for 4 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter to the mixture.

Step 6

Stir vigorously until the chocolate chips and peanut butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 7

Add the vanilla extract and stir to incorporate.

Step 8

Using a sifter or fine mesh sieve, gradually sift in the powdered sugar to the mixture, stirring continuously until fully combined and smooth.

Step 9

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared 8x8-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for an additional 2 hours, or until set.

Step 11

Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into 16 squares.

Step 12

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
