Recipe Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Over medium-high heat, stir milk and sugar together in a saucepan until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil. |
| 2 | Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage, which is around 234 degrees Fahrenheit. To test, drop a small amount of the syrup into cold water; it should form a soft ball when rolled between your fingers. |
| 3 | Remove the saucepan from heat. |
| 4 | Add the peanut butter, marshmallow cream, and vanilla extract to the hot mixture. Stir vigorously until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. |
| 5 | Pour the fudge mixture into a lightly greased 13 x 9-inch pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. |
| 6 | Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature until set, typically for about 1-2 hours. |
| 7 | Once cooled and set, cut the fudge into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife. |
| 8 | Serve and enjoy the irresistible taste of homemade Peanut Butter Fudge! |
