Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup peanut butter (extra crunchy or smooth, as preferred)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Boil Sugar and Milk: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and allow to boil for about 3 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will ensure the fudge has a smooth texture without any grittiness.
- Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Pour and Cool: Pour the mixture into an 8×8-inch pan, spreading it evenly. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate to set faster.
- Slice and Serve: Once fully set, slice into squares and serve.
