Ingredients
  

For the Fudge
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter unsalted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, butter, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the peanut butter and chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir until smooth and completely melted.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature, about 2 hours, or until firm.
  8. Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares.

Notes

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
