Let’s Make Some Peanut Butter Fudge!
NOTE: BEFORE you begin, generously butter an 8″ x 8″ square baking dish (bottom and sides) and set it aside. You will need this dish ready to go once the fudge ingredients are melted!
Measure the granulated sugar and milk into a very large saucepan. You will need a large pan because you will be adding the other ingredients to this pan later! Stir to combine the milk and sugar, and bring the mixture to a boil on Medium heat, stirring often. Once the liquid begins boiling, let it boil for exactly 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Stir, Stir, Stir!
When done boiling, remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter and marshmallow creme. The mixture will be very thick! Keep on stirring and eventually you will have all the ingredients melted and combined. Trust me… just stir and stir, and in a couple minutes it will be fully blended!
Refrigerate The Fudge Until Set
Spread the peanut butter fudge evenly into the buttered 8″ x 8″ dish immediately after it is combined. The fudge will set up fairly quickly. Try to pat down the surface a bit, so there are no points sticking up.
Cover the fudge loosely and put it into the refrigerator to chill for 2-3 hours before cutting into portions. When the fudge is completely chilled and firmed up, slice it into 36 small pieces.
Who Wants A Piece Of Peanut Butter Fudge?
Transfer the cut pieces of peanut butter fudge to a serving plate and enjoy this delicious treat! Remember to keep all remaining pieces of fudge covered in the refrigerator! This is a yummy treat to give to friends or family for holidays or special occasions. It will be our little secret just how easy it was to make, okay? Wink, wink.
I hope you enjoy making (and eating) this peanut butter fudge! Thank you for stopping by today, and I hope you come back soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you throughout this holiday season, and have a GREAT day!
