Ingredients

• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.75 cups Butter
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 jar (7 ounces) Marshmallow creme
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cups Peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the fudge. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, milk, butter, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.

Step 3

Once the mixture reaches a boil, stop stirring and allow it to boil for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the marshmallow creme, semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until everything is smooth and well combined.

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 at least 2 hours or until it is firm. For faster cooling, you can place the dish in the refrigerator.

Step 7

Once set, cut the fudge into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
