Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a foundational layer by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage for easy removal.
- Combine granulated sugar, butter, and milk in a medium saucepan, heating over medium temperature while continuously stirring until the mixture erupts into a vigorous boil.
- Maintain the boiling process for 2-3 minutes, gently stirring intermittently to prevent scorching and ensure even heat distribution.
- Immediately remove the saucepan from heat and swiftly incorporate peanut butter and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gradually fold in powdered sugar, blending thoroughly to create a smooth, creamy texture without any lumps or dry pockets.
- Transfer the molten fudge mixture into the prepared dish, using a spatula to spread evenly and eliminate any air pockets.
- Allow the fudge to cool naturally at room temperature for approximately 60 minutes, enabling it to solidify completely and develop its signature dense texture.
- Once fully set, slice the fudge into precise square portions, revealing the rich, decadent layers of peanut butter goodness.
- Serve and savor the luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth treat that combines sweet and nutty flavors in every delightful bite.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality, creamy peanut butter for the most luxurious flavor and smooth texture.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure precise temperature control during boiling, preventing sugar crystallization.
- For a gluten-free version, confirm all ingredients are certified gluten-free before preparing.
- Customize the fudge by adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top or mixing in chopped roasted peanuts for extra crunch.
