My mother always made fudge for special occasions, and peanut butter fudge was my sister's favorite. This recipe is such an easy go-to for gifts from the kitchen, treats for Santa, or just a sweet indulgence you give yourself. Store the fudge in the refrigerator or the freezer until ready to serve.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 2/3 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Festive colored sugar for garnish (optional)

Preparation

  1. Line a 13-by-9-inch pan lengthwise with nonstick aluminum foil, letting a bit hang over the edges.
  2. Combine sugar, butter, and milk in large saucepan, stirring constantly on medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  3. Add peanut butter. Stir until well blended. Add marshmallow creme and vanilla. Beat until well blended. Spread in baking pan. Cool completely in the refrigerator overnight.
  4. Lift the fudge from the pan using the foil "handles." Place on a cutting board and peel away the foil. Cut into small squares or bars. Top with colored sugar if desired.
