Ingredients
- 6 cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups unsalted butter
- 2 cups evaporated milk
- 3 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 jars (7 oz each) marshmallow creme
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional for balance)
Instructions
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring constantly. Continue boiling for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and reaches a soft-ball stage (approximately 235°F).
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter until fully melted and smooth. Then, add the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract, stirring continuously until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
- Quickly pour the fudge mixture into three large greased or parchment-lined baking dishes. Spread evenly using a spatula and allow it to cool completely at room temperature for several hours or refrigerate for faster setting. Once firm, cut into small squares and store in an airtight container.
