For the best results, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to ensure even heat distribution and prevent scorching. Stir the mixture constantly while cooking to avoid crystallization and ensure a smooth, creamy texture. A candy thermometer is highly recommended for accurate temperature control. If you don't have one, rely on the cold water test to gauge the fudge's consistency. To prevent the fudge from sticking, line the baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. If you want to make other flavors, replace peanut butter with white chocolate chips and any flavor extract of your choice. Add the extract slowly and taste in between.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
1 mins
Prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan by lightly coating it with cooking spray.
02
Step
6 mins
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and evaporated milk. Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring continuously to prevent scorching. Continue cooking until the syrup reaches 234°F (110°C) on a candy thermometer, approximately 5-7 minutes. To test for doneness, drop a teaspoon of the hot syrup into a glass of ice water. It should form a soft, pliable ball.
03
Step
2 mins
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately add the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth, glossy, and thick, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
