Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Measure all ingredients first so they are ready to be added. Put the powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl.
    3 cups powdered sugar
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil and boil hard for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
    2 cups brown sugar, ½ cup milk, 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Remove the pot from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
    1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pour the peanut butter mixture into the powdered sugar, making sure to scrape everything out of the pot.
  • Beat with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
  • Scrape into a lined 8x8 pan and smooth into an even layer. Cover and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Turn out and slice into squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.

Notes

  • It will take at least an hour to chill the fudge until firm enough to cut. Don't rush it!
