Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter + a little more to grease the pan
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Lightly grease a 9” x 9” glass pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine powdered sugar, brown sugar, butter and milk in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugars have dissolved.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, then slowly boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat. Add peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until blended.
  • Pour the Peanut Butter Fudge into the glass pan. Let cool. Once pan has reached room temperature, you can move it to a refrigerator to finish cooling.
  • Allow the Peanut Butter Fudge to cool for at least four hours. Enjoy!

Notes

  • What kind of peanut butter to use: I recommend a classic creamy peanut butter. Do not use an all natural brand.
  • What kind of milk to use: I only recommend making your fudge with whole milk. Do not use low fat or dairy-free milks for this recipe.
  • Optional add-ins: Chopped nuts, M&Ms, and chocolate or peanut butter chips would all make great additions to your peanut butter fudge. Simply add them to the fudge after it has cooled a bit, but before it has set completely.
  • Storing and Freezing: Store fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.To freeze, store fudge in a freezer zipper bag or freezer safe container for up to 6 months. Thaw the fudge on the counter or in fridge overnight before serving.
