Cook Sugar and Milk: In a saucepan, combine the sugar and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage, which is about 234 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer.
-
Add Marshmallow Cream and Peanut Butter: Once the sugar and milk mixture has reached the soft ball stage, remove it from the heat. Stir in the marshmallow cream, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
-
Pour into Baking Dish: Quickly pour the fudge mixture into a buttered 9-inch square glass baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
-
Allow to Set: Let the fudge stand at room temperature overnight or until completely set.
-
Cut into Squares: Once the fudge is firm, use a sharp knife to cut it into squares of your desired size.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Peanut Butter Fudge as a delightful treat for family and friends, or pack it up for gifting during the holiday season or any special occasion.
Tips:
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar and milk mixture reaches the correct temperature for the soft ball stage.
- Buttering the baking dish ensures that the fudge doesn’t stick, making it easier to remove and cut into squares.
- For variations, you can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the fudge mixture before pouring it into the baking dish.
- Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
