Ingredients
- 2 cups brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted to break up clumps
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper or an aluminum foil sling for easy removal. If using aluminum foil, be sure to butter it so the fudge will come off easily.
- Combine brown sugar, milk, and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook while stirring frequently until the brown sugar and butter dissolve and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Stir the peanut butter and vanilla extract into the mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Add the powdered sugar to a large bowl, then pour the hot peanut butter mixture over it.
- Beat together with a hand mixer until combined and there are no lumps of powdered sugar remaining.
- Transfer the fudge to the prepared pan, and let it set at room temperature for about 3 hours.
- Allow it to cool completely before slicing it into squares.
Notes
- Storage: Store wrapped in cling film in an airtight container on the counter for up to 1 or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Freezing: Wrap your cooled fudge in a layer of plastic wrap, then again in foil to keep the moisture in. It will keep for about 2 months in the freezer. Thaw in the fridge or on the counter before serving.
