Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
You���re gonna need a medium saucepan and an 8×8-inch baking dish.
The sugar and milk contribute to the sweet, creamy texture while the peanut butter gives us the flavour punch. The vanilla extract enhances the overall flavour profile of the fudge, making it all the more irresistible. However, if you have a peanut allergy, you can substitute the peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter, ain’t no sweat!
How To Make Peanut Butter Fudge
- Grease your 8×8-inch dish.
- In your saucepan, stir together the sugar and milk over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Make sure you stir constantly to avoid the mixture from sticking and burning.
- Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Once completely mixed, pour into your greased dish, and let it cool.
- Once cooled, cut your fudge into squares and voila! You���re good to go.
Tips For The Best Results
- Always use a good quality, non-natural peanut butter for best results.
- Make sure your fudge is cooled completely before cutting into squares.
Storage Tips
- Peanut Butter Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
