15 minFifteen minutes. That’s all that stands between you and a pan of creamy, smooth peanut butter fudge that’ll have people swearing you spent all afternoon on it.
White and brown sugar get cooked with milk to the soft ball stage, then pulled off the heat and beaten with marshmallows, peanut butter, and vanilla until the mixture turns thick, creamy, and loses its gloss. Spread into a buttered pan, let it set, and cut into squares.
This is the kind of recipe you scribble on an index card and pass to your best friend. Simple, foolproof, and dangerously addictive.
Kitchen Tips
- Beat the mixture with a wooden spoon until the glossy sheen disappears. That’s your sign the fudge will set firm instead of staying soft and gooey.
- Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture. Chunky works if you want some crunch, but the fudge won’t be as silky.
- Cut into small squares. This fudge is rich and sweet, and a little goes a long way.
