Fudge Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup peanut butter (extra crunchy or smooth, as desired)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Sugar and Milk: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and milk. Heat over medium heat while stirring constantly to prevent sticking and ensure even dissolution.
- Boil the Mixture: Allow the mixture to boil gently for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved. This step is essential for a smooth fudge texture.
- Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the fudge is creamy, smooth, and well blended.
- Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture into an 8×8-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Allow it to cool at room temperature until it is fully set and firm enough to cut.
- Cut and Serve: Once the fudge is set, cut into squares and enjoy your rich and creamy peanut butter treat.
Notes
- Use either smooth or crunchy peanut butter depending on your texture preference.
- Lining the pan with parchment paper makes it easier to remove the fudge once set.
- Make sure to stir constantly while boiling to prevent the mixture from burning or crystallizing.
- Allow adequate cooling time for the fudge to properly set; avoid refrigerating as it may change the texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
