Description

This rich and creamy Peanut Butter Fudge is a perfect sweet treat made with a smooth blend of peanut butter, granulated sugar, butter, milk, and powdered sugar. Ready in under an hour, it sets beautifully to offer a velvety texture and sweet, nutty flavor that peanut butter lovers will adore.

Ingredients

Fudge Base

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sweetener Add-in

  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter to prevent the fudge from sticking and allow easy removal once set.
  2. Melt and Mix: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and whole milk. Stir constantly to dissolve the sugar and prevent burning. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and maintain it for 2-3 minutes to fully dissolve the sugar.
  3. Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine with Powdered Sugar: Sift the powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot peanut butter mixture over the powdered sugar. Stir energetically until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
  5. Pour and Set: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Let the fudge cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour to fully set and firm up.
  6. Cut and Serve: Once the fudge has set, cut it into 16 squares. Enjoy immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Be sure to stir continuously when boiling the sugar mixture to avoid burning.
  • Using parchment paper in the pan helps with easy removal of the fudge.
  • If the fudge is too soft after setting, refrigerate it briefly to firm it up before cutting.
  • Store the fudge in a cool, dry place to prevent melting.
  • For a crunchy texture, add chopped peanuts to the mixture before pouring into the pan.
