Peanut Butter Fudge Ingredients
- 2 cups of peanut butter
- 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of milk
Instructions
- Combine peanut butter and cocoa powder: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix 2 cups of peanut butter with 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Add powdered sugar: Gradually sift in 1 cup of powdered sugar to the peanut butter and cocoa mix, stirring continuously to achieve a smooth, fudge-like texture.
- Incorporate vanilla and milk: Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 cup of milk to the mixture to enhance flavor and achieve the correct consistency.
- Prepare for setting: Pour the resulting fudge mixture into a greased pan, spreading it evenly to create a uniform layer for cooling.
- Chill to firm up: Refrigerate the pan for 2 hours or until the fudge is firm enough to cut into clean squares.
- Serve: Remove from the fridge, cut into 16 squares, and enjoy your creamy homemade peanut butter fudge.
Notes
- Ensure the pan is well greased to prevent sticking when cutting and serving.
- For a smoother texture, use creamy peanut butter rather than chunky.
- You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle sea salt on top before chilling to enhance flavors.
