PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
(Recipe from All Recipes)
.
YOU WILL NEED
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
2 1/4 cups brown sugar
3 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Optional: add chopped unsalted peanuts for extra crunch
Optional: add chopped unsalted peanuts for extra crunch

DIRECTIONS
First, measure out all your ingredients, because you will need to have them on hand, as the fudge comes together pretty quickly. Place the confectioners’ sugar in your electric mixer bowl. Then, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, making sure that it doesn’t burn. Once the butter has melted, add in the milk and brown sugar and whisk until you have a smooth mixture. Constantly whisking, bring it to a boil, then cook for another two minutes, continuing to whisk. Remove from heat, and add in the peanut butter and vanilla extract and stir until you have a thick, creamy sauce. Pour it into your electric mixer with the confectioners’ sugar, and mix until completely smooth and creamy. Pour into an 8×8 inch pan (line the pan with parchment paper) and let chill until the fudge is firm, then cut it into small pieces using a sharp knife. (*Note: I cut the recipe in half and made a smaller batch, and it was still a lot of fudge!)
Happy Cooking, Everyone!
This fudge looks so delicious and creamy! I can’t wait to start baking up treats for the holidays and these will go perfectly in cookie tins to give away as gifts.
