Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and milk. Stir frequently and bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 3
Let the mixture boil for about 1 minute while stirring continuously to ensure the sugar dissolves fully.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Fold in the rolled oats and mix thoroughly so the oats are evenly coated in the peanut butter mixture.
Step 6
If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate flavor.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down evenly and smooth the surface.
Step 8
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge has set and is firm to the touch.
Step 9
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 12 squares or your desired serving size.
Step 10
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
