HISTORY

Old-fashioned peanut butter fudge dates back to the early 1900s, when home cooks began experimenting with sugar, milk, and nut butters to make soft candies. Before chocolate fudge became mainstream, peanut butter fudge was the star of church gatherings, family reunions, and holiday swaps.

This recipe keeps the traditional simplicity—no candy thermometer, no complicated tricks—just classic, reliable, old-fashioned goodness.


INGREDIENTS

(This is the single-batch recipe as you provided. For 3 double batches = 6 batches total, multiply as needed.)

Single Batch

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy works best)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For 3 DOUBLE Batches (6 total batches)

  • 6 cups sugar
  • 3 cups milk
  • 6 cups peanut butter
  • 6 tsp (2 tbsp) vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 — Prepare the Pan

  1. Line an 8×8 dish with parchment paper or lightly butter it.
  2. Set aside—this fudge sets quickly!

Step 2 — Heat the Sugar & Milk

  1. Combine sugar and milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir constantly until mixture begins to boil.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat slightly and cook 2–3 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.

Step 3 — Add Peanut Butter

  1. Remove from heat.
  2. Quickly stir in the peanut butter until completely melted and smooth.

Step 4 — Add Vanilla

  1. Stir in vanilla—it enhances the flavor and sweetness.

Step 5 — Pour & Set

  1. Pour mixture into your prepared pan.
  2. Spread evenly with a spatula.
  3. Allow to set at room temperature for 1–2 hours or refrigerate for faster setting.

Step 6 — Cut & Enjoy

  1. Once firm, cut into squares.
  2. Store in an airtight container.

METHODS

  • Low & Slow Heating: Prevents scorching and keeps fudge creamy.
  • Stir Constantly: Sugar burns quickly—don’t walk away.
  • Use Creamy PB: Gives that silky classic texture.
  • Don’t Overcook: The shorter boil gives a softer old-fashioned fudge.

FORMATION TIPS

  • If you want thicker fudge, use a smaller pan.
  • For firmer fudge, boil 30 seconds longer.
  • For extra creaminess, add 1 tbsp butter during the peanut butter step.
  • For special occasions, drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
