Instructions
- Begin by generously buttering a 7×11-inch pan to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
- In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, salt, white corn syrup, peanut butter, and milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it reaches the soft ball stage at 238°F (114°C).
- Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the saucepan from heat and carefully add the butter and vanilla extract, stirring until the butter has melted and everything is well mixed.
- Beat the mixture vigorously until it thickens and loses its glossy appearance; this should take a couple of minutes.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Allow the fudge to cool completely before cutting it into 1-inch squares.
