Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 2 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.75 cup Peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3.5 cups Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
Step 3
Allow the mixture to boil for 2 minutes, continuing to stir to prevent it from burning.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir until the peanut butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, stirring well after each addition to create a thick, smooth batter.
Step 6
Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours or until firm. For faster results, you can place it in the refrigerator to set.
Step 8
Once the fudge has set, cut it into small squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
