Introduction

Making Peanut Butter Fudge in bulk is the perfect solution for holiday gatherings, gifting, or stocking up on sweet treats for the family. This recipe is rich, creamy, and easy to multiply for large batches, ensuring you get consistent and delicious results every time.

Ingredients (For 1 Double Batch)

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• ½ cup whole milk
• 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

For 3 Double Batches (Multiplied)

• 6 cups granulated sugar
• 1 ½ cups whole milk
• 4 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
• 4 ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

1. For each double batch, line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly. For 3 double batches, prepare three pans.

Step 2: Heat the Sugar and Milk

1. In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and milk.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
3. Let it boil for 2-3 minutes, continuing to stir to prevent burning.

Step 3: Add the Peanut Butter and Vanilla

1. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract.
2. Mix quickly and thoroughly until the fudge is smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Pour into Pans

1. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared pans if making 3 double batches at once. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 5: Let It Set
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours or until fully set. For faster results, refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 6: Slice and Serve
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Tips

• Mixing tip: Work quickly when adding peanut butter and vanilla, as the fudge begins to set fast.
• Add toppings: Sprinkle chopped peanuts, mini chocolate chips, or sea salt on top before the fudge sets.
• Storage: Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
