Directions
Greas an 8x8 inch square pan so your fudge won’t stick. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and milk. Stir it gently and let it cook until it reaches the soft ball stage—this means the mixture should be around 234-240°F (112-115°C). While that’s cooking, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth, then add it to the saucepan and stir everything together really well. Take the pan off the heat and beat the mixture for about 2 minutes to help it thicken up. Next, stir in the vanilla and peanut butter until everything is smooth and fully combined. Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan, spread it out evenly, and let it cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy your homemade treat!
Serving Style Ideas
Serve this fudge as a sweet snack with a cup of coffee or tea. It also makes a lovely homemade gift when wrapped in parchment paper and tied with a ribbon. For a fun twist, try sprinkling a little sea salt on top before it sets.
How To Keep It Fresh
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator where it will last up to a month. Make sure to separate layers with wax paper to prevent sticking.
