Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup peanut butter (extra crunchy preferred)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it boil for about 3 minutes to fully dissolve the sugar.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Pour the mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature until firm, about 1-2 hours.
- Once set, cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips when mixing in the peanut butter.
- You can make a salted version by sprinkling sea salt on top before the fudge cools.
- To make this fudge nut-free, swap the peanut butter for sunflower seed or almond butter.
