Peanut Butter Fudge
Description
This Peanut Butter Fudge uses powdered sugar, light brown sugar, butter, and whole milk cooked together until the sugars dissolve and the mixture boils. Once removed from heat, creamy peanut butter and vanilla are stirred in to create a smooth, thick fudge base. The mixture is poured into a greased pan and allowed to cool to room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator to firm up completely.
The finished fudge has a dense and creamy texture with the unmistakable richness of peanut butter. It can be cut into squares for serving. Optional additions such as chopped nuts or chocolate chips can be mixed in just before the fudge sets to add variety and texture.
Store peanut butter fudge in an airtight container refrigerated for up to two weeks, or freeze in freezer-safe packaging for several months. Thaw in the refrigerator before enjoying.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter + a little more to grease the pan
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter creamy
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9” x 9” glass pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine powdered sugar, brown sugar, butter and milk in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugars have dissolved.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, then slowly boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Add peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until blended.
- Pour the Peanut Butter Fudge into the glass pan. Let cool. Once pan has reached room temperature, you can move it to a refrigerator to finish cooling.

Notes
- Use classic creamy peanut butter rather than all-natural brands for optimal texture.
- Whole milk is recommended; avoid low-fat or dairy-free milks for best results.

- Store fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for up to six months.
- Thaw frozen fudge in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
