Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
- Heat the Sugar and Milk:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved.
- Boil the Mixture:
- Bring the mixture to a boil, and let it cook without stirring until it reaches the soft-ball stage, which is about 234°F (112°C) on a candy thermometer. This should take around 5-7 minutes.
- Add the Peanut Butter and Vanilla:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour and Set:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Cool and Cut:
- Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until it is set.
- Once cooled, cut the fudge into squares.
Enjoy your creamy peanut butter fudge!
