Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge.
Step 1
Start by generously spraying a 9x9-inch pan with cooking spray to ensure your fudge comes out easily later on. This little step makes a big difference!
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the evaporated milk and white sugar. Place the pot over medium-high heat and stir the mixture constantly. Keep an eye on it as it heats up, bringing it to a boil. You want to stir until the syrup reaches a temperature of 234 degrees F (110 degrees C). This should take about 5 to 7 minutes. A fun trick to check if it's ready is to drop a teaspoon of the hot syrup into a glass of cold water; it should form a soft ball of candy!
Step 3
Once your mixture is at the right temperature, carefully remove it from the heat. Now, it's time to add in the star ingredients: stir in the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla extract. Keep stirring until the fudge becomes smooth and thick. This is where the magic happens!
Step 4
Pour the luscious fudge into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Let it cool at room temperature before slicing it into delightful squares. Enjoy your homemade treat!
