Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3.5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over the sides for easy removal later. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Stir in the light brown sugar and milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Once boiling, allow the mixture to cook for 2 minutes, continuing to stir constantly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the creamy peanut butter and pure vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, about 1 cup at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition until smooth.
Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator until firm, about 2-3 hours.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 1-inch squares using a sharp knife.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
