I can’t believe how easy it is to whip up this dreamy peanut butter fudge—only 4 ingredients and no baking required. It takes me right back to rainy afternoons in my grandma’s kitchen, where the sweet, nutty aroma would fill the whole house.
This treat is pure indulgence: creamy and smooth with that perfect peanut butter kick, setting up in just minutes for fudgy squares that practically dissolve on your tongue.
Ingredients
– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup milk (whole or evaporated for extra richness)
– 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Melt the sugar and milk together in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it comes to a gentle boil. Let it bubble for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened— it’ll smell like sweet caramel dreams.
Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until it’s fully melted and glossy, then add the vanilla for that warm, nutty depth.
Pour into a greased 8×8-inch pan lined with parchment, and smooth the top. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
The edges get a slight chew while the center stays melt-in-your-mouth soft.
The trick to that perfect fudge texture? Don’t overboil the sugar mix—keep stirring to avoid any graininess.
