Ingredients
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 jar (7 ounces) Marshmallow creme
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, milk, and unsalted butter. Stir gently to combine.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the mixture to cook for 5 minutes without stirring.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the marshmallow creme, creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir vigorously until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until it is fully set.
Step 7
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into 24 squares.
Step 8
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
