Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
Flavoring and Mix-ins
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 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 granulated sugar, butter, and milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it reaches a rolling boil. Continue to boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it does not burn.
- Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar into the mixture, stirring continuously until the fudge is creamy and all the sugar is fully incorporated.
- Pour and Set: Pour the smooth fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour or until it is firm to the touch.
- Cut and Serve: Once the fudge has set completely, cut it into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy this rich, creamy peanut butter fudge delight!
Notes
- For easier cutting, refrigerate the fudge after it has cooled to room temperature.
- You can substitute creamy peanut butter with natural peanut butter for a healthier alternative, but the texture may vary slightly.
- Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
- If you prefer a firmer fudge, increase the amount of powdered sugar by 1/2 cup.
