Ingredients

• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 cups Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Prepare an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with butter. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, and continue to cook for about 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix until the peanut butter is fully melted and incorporated into the mixture.

Step 5

Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Continue mixing until the fudge mixture is smooth and uniform.

Step 6

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 7

Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 1–2 hours, or until it sets completely. For faster cooling, place the dish in the refrigerator.

Step 8

Once set, remove the fudge from the dish by lifting the parchment paper (if used). Cut into small squares or rectangles and serve.
