Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and whole milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter is fully melted and the sugar has dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring constantly. Once it starts boiling, stop stirring and let the mixture boil for 3 minutes. Set a timer to ensure precise timing.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter, marshmallow creme, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface with a spatula. Work quickly as the fudge begins to set as it cools.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours or until fully set. For faster setting, you can refrigerate it for about 1 hour.
Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper or cut it directly in the pan into 24 squares.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve and enjoy!
