Peanut Butter Fudge
Description
This fudge begins by lining an 8x8 pan with foil buttered to prevent sticking. Butter is melted and combined with packed brown sugar and whole milk, brought to a brief boil while whisking constantly to dissolve the sugar and develop the fudge base. After removing from heat, creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract are blended in, then powdered sugar is beaten in using a mixer until fully incorporated and smooth.
The mixture is pressed into the prepared pan and refrigerated for three to four hours until firm. The resulting fudge cuts into squares with a dense, creamy texture and a balance of sweet, buttery, and peanut flavors. The recipe focuses on using creamy, not natural, peanut butter for a consistent texture.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted
- 2 cups brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup milk whole
- 1 cup peanut butter not natural, creamy
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Wipe down a piece of foil with the wrapper of the stick of butter, then line an 8x8 pan with it.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat, then whisk in the brown sugar and milk and bring to a boil (start timing when you see small bubbles) for 2 minutes whisking constantly.
- Turn off the heat, whisk in the peanut butter and vanilla, then move the mixture to your stand mixer and beat in the powdered sugar before pressing it into the greased aluminum lined pan and refrigerate until set, about 3-4 hours.
