Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk (120 milliliters)
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Create a smooth, sweet base by whisking sugar and milk together in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Allow the mixture to reach a vigorous, rolling boil, maintaining the intense bubbling for precisely two and a half minutes without stirring.
- Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat source and immediately introduce vanilla extract and creamy peanut butter.
- Vigorously whisk the ingredients until the peanut butter completely dissolves, creating a uniform, glossy texture with no visible lumps.
- Swiftly transfer the molten fudge mixture into a pre-greased baking pan, using a spatula to ensure even distribution and smooth the surface.
- Allow the fudge to rest and solidify at room temperature, which typically takes approximately 2-3 hours, ensuring a firm, sliceable consistency.
- Once fully set, use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into neat, uniform squares, creating delectable bite-sized pieces ready for serving and enjoying.
Notes
- Ensure precise timing when boiling sugar and milk to achieve the perfect fudge consistency without burning.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to distribute heat evenly and prevent scorching during the boiling process.
- Experiment with different peanut butter brands for varied flavor intensity, choosing natural or creamy options based on personal preference.
- Allow fudge to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for cleaner, sharper cutting lines and a firmer texture.
