Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Fudge
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 10 servings 1x
Description
This old-fashioned peanut butter fudge is rich and creamy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of molasses flavor.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 oz marshmallow cream
- 1 1/3 cups peanut butter (1 cup Smart Balance brand and 1/3 cup Jif for a darker roasted flavor and hint of molasses)
Instructions
- Line a 9-inch glass oven-proof baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring it covers the sides for easy removal later.
- In a medium saucepan, pour in the milk followed by the sugar. Stir to combine.
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue boiling for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the marshmallow cream and peanut butter. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature until set, about 2 hours. For faster setting, you can refrigerate it for about 1 hour.
- Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the foil and cut it into squares for serving.
Notes
For a darker roasted flavor, use Smart Balance brand peanut butter. The fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For a firmer texture, refrigerate the fudge before serving.
