Description

Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge delivers a rich, indulgent experience that melts in your mouth with pure chocolate-peanut bliss. Smooth confectionery magic brings comfort and joy, inviting you to savor each delectable bite of this classic sweet treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk (120 milliliters)

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Create a smooth, sweet base by whisking sugar and milk together in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Allow the mixture to reach a vigorous, rolling boil, maintaining the intense bubbling for precisely two and a half minutes without stirring.
  3. Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat source and immediately introduce vanilla extract and creamy peanut butter.
  4. Vigorously whisk the ingredients until the peanut butter completely dissolves, creating a uniform, glossy texture with no visible lumps.
  5. Swiftly transfer the molten fudge mixture into a pre-greased baking pan, using a spatula to ensure even distribution and smooth the surface.
  6. Allow the fudge to rest and solidify at room temperature, which typically takes approximately 2-3 hours, ensuring a firm, sliceable consistency.
  7. 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.
