I absolutely take no credit for this recipe. I found it floating around Facebook and it sounded so easy that I just HAD to try it. Guess what? It's not only easy, but it tastes delicious! Mom always had trouble making any kind of fudge. It either didn't cook long enough & we ended up with "spoon candy" or it cooked too long & we had to let it melt in our mouths because we didn't want to damage our teeth. I guess Mom just never got the hang of testing a drop of candy in a glass of cold water. But we always loved the taste of yummy Peanut Butter Fudge. Like this easy recipe makes! =^..^=

How To Make super easy peanut butter fudge

  • Step 1
    Butter an 8 x 8" baking dish or any dish of similar size. I used a pie plate for this photo. Have all ingredients measured out before starting since you'll be stirring constantly once you start.
  • Step 2
    In a saucepan over MEDIUM heat, bring the sugar and milk to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it's bubbling all over, boil for EXACTLY 2 1/2 minutes. (I set the timer on the microwave. Really.)
  • Step 3
    Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract. Then stir in the peanut butter. Blend well, but quickly, until smooth.
  • Step 4
    Pour into buttered dish and smooth out. Cool before cutting into pieces.
