Description
A quick and easy recipe for rich and creamy peanut butter fudge that brings the perfect balance of sweetness and nutty flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and milk over medium heat. Stir constantly to ensure it doesn’t stick.
- Once the mixture reaches a boil, let it cook for exactly three minutes, continuing to stir.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Pour the fudge mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly for consistent thickness.
- Allow it to cool completely at room temperature, then cut into squares.
Notes
For a creamier fudge, use creamy peanut butter; for added texture, opt for crunchy. Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
