👩🍳 How to Make Peanut Butter Fudge
- Prepare your pan
Line an 8×8-inch dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it. This makes it easy to remove the fudge once it’s set. - Mix sugar and milk
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and milk. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn. - Boil until thickened
Let the mixture boil for about 2½ to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. The goal is to dissolve the sugar completely and create a smooth syrup. - Add peanut butter and vanilla
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and creamy. - Pour and set
Quickly pour the fudge into your prepared pan and spread evenly. Allow it to cool for a few minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate until firm. - Cut and enjoy!
Once set, cut the fudge into squares and serve. Creamy, dreamy peanut butter goodness in every bite!
💡 Tips for Perfect Peanut Butter Fudge
Use fresh peanut butter for the best texture and flavor.
If you want a bit of crunch, try half creamy, half crunchy peanut butter.
Add a pinch of sea salt on top before chilling — it takes the flavor to another level!
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if it lasts that long!).
