Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup peanut butter (preferably extra crunchy for texture)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sugar Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and milk. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently. Continue boiling for about 3 minutes or until the sugar is completely dissolved. This step is crucial to avoid a gritty texture in the final fudge.
  2. Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring a creamy consistency.
  3. Pour and Cool: Pour the mixture into an 8×8-inch pan lined with parchment paper or lightly greased for easy removal. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator to set faster before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Use extra crunchy peanut butter for added texture if desired.
  • Make sure the sugar is fully dissolved before removing from heat to avoid grainy fudge.
  • Allow fudge to cool completely before cutting to ensure it sets properly.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
