Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut Butter
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Boil Milk and Sugar: In a pan, combine 1/4 cup milk and 2 cups granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Boil for about 2 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the fudge mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Pour into Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with foil, allowing some overhang for easy removal. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once fully set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil edges. Cut into small cubes and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture; crunchy peanut butter will add chunkiness.
- Be careful when boiling the sugar mixture to avoid burning or crystallization.
- Line the pan with foil to ensure easy removal and clean up.
- Store fudge in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- To enhance flavor, lightly toast the peanut butter before adding if desired.
