Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted for greasing the pan
  • 3 cup sugar
  • ¾ cup butter or margarine
  • ⅔ cup evaporated milk (NOT sweetened condensed)
  • 3 cups peanut butter chips (16 ounces), SEE NOTES
  • 1 jar marshmallow cream (7 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Line a 9 inch square baking dish with foil or parchment with edges extending over the sides.
  • Brush bottom and sides of the lined pan with the melted butter.
  • Combine sugar, butter or margarine, and evaporated milk in a medium sauce pan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • Boil for exactly 4 minutes (set your timer) CONTINUE STIRRING CONSTANTLY.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add peanut butter chips and marshmallow cream. Stir until combined.
  • Add vanilla, and stir to combine.
  • Pour into prepared pan.
  • Let the fudge cool and set up before cutting.
  • To cut pull the fudge out of pan by pulling up on parchment paper or foil that over hangs the edges and cut with a sharp knife.
  • Store in an air-tight container. 

Notes

  • 3 cups peanut butter chips is just under 2 10 oz. packages.
  • To achieve a smooth fudge, stir continuously while boiling the sugar mixture and ensure all ingredients are fully melted and blended before pouring into the pan.
  • If the fudge seems too soft after cooling, refrigerate it for a few hours to firm up. If it's too firm, let it sit at room temperature for a bit before cutting.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the mixture to enhance the peanut butter flavor. You can also sprinkle crushed peanuts on top before the fudge sets for added crunch and flavor.
