Ingredients
  

For the Fudge
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter unsalted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, milk, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter until smooth.
  5. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until they are completely melted and incorporated into the mixture.
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  8. Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
