Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.67 cup Evaporated milk
- 1.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 7 ounces Marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Prepare a 9x9-inch pan by lining it with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly greasing it with butter or nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, evaporated milk, and salt over medium heat. Stir frequently to dissolve the sugar and melt the butter.
Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue cooking for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 234°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Immediately stir in the peanut butter, marshmallow creme, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Allow the fudge to cool and set at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or refrigerate for 1 hour for faster setting.
Once the fudge is firm, remove it from the pan using the foil or parchment as a sling. Cut into 36 squares for serving.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
