Scale
Ingredients
- 1⅓ cups (360 g) smooth peanut butter
- 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather smooth peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk. Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing.
- Combine Peanut Butter and Condensed Milk: In a medium mixing bowl, pour the sweetened condensed milk and add the peanut butter. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, uniform, and free of lumps.
- Transfer to Pan: Line a square 8×8 inch pan or similar baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Pour the peanut butter mixture into the pan and spread evenly with a spatula to level the surface.
- Chill to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, remove the fudge from the pan by lifting the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use smooth peanut butter for the best creamy texture; chunky peanut butter will alter the consistency.
- Sweetened condensed milk adds sweetness and helps the fudge set without baking.
- Chilling time is critical to achieve the right firmness; do not skip the refrigeration step.
- Optional additions could include a pinch of salt or vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Keep refrigerated to prevent melting and maintain freshness.
