Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the white sugar, light brown sugar, unsalted butter, and milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter melts and the sugars dissolve completely.
Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until it reaches a soft-ball stage (approximately 234°F or 112°C on a candy thermometer).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
Sift the powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl to remove any lumps. Pour the hot peanut butter mixture over the powdered sugar.
Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix the ingredients together until a smooth and thick fudge consistency forms. Work quickly as the mixture will begin to set as it cools.
Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 1–2 hours or until completely set. For faster cooling, you can place it in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes.
Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut the fudge into small squares or rectangles.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
