Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Sweetener
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the fudge from sticking.
- Cook the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, butter, and milk. Heat over medium heat while stirring constantly until the mixture reaches a rolling boil. Continue to boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and evenly blended.
- Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, stirring continuously until the fudge becomes thick, creamy, and thoroughly combined.
- Pour and Set: Pour the smooth fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 1 hour or until it is firmly set.
- Cut and Serve: Once the fudge has fully set and hardened, cut it into small squares and serve. Enjoy this rich and creamy peanut butter fudge delight!
Notes
- Ensure constant stirring while boiling to prevent the mixture from burning and sticking to the pan.
- For firmer fudge, refrigerate the dish after setting for an additional 30 minutes before cutting.
- Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture; chunky peanut butter will alter the consistency.
- The fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerated for up to two weeks.
- Line the dish with parchment paper edges left over the sides to easily lift the fudge out for cutting.
