Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
4 cups white sugar
1 cup milk
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
12 ounces peanut butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
Directions
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set it aside on a clean surface.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, and butter. Place over medium-high heat and stir until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
Once boiling, maintain the heat and let the mixture cook for exactly 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to cool slightly for about 1 minute.
Stir in the marshmallow creme until it is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the peanut butter and stir thoroughly until completely blended with no streaks remaining.
Gradually add the flour while stirring constantly, incorporating it fully to create a thick, smooth fudge mixture.
Pour the warm fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour until set, then cut into squares and serve.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at every Charlotte-area chain, and the cost per serving lands under a dollar with butter and peanut butter doing the heavy lifting. The stated 85 minutes is honest for a fudge recipe that requires cooking, cooling, and setting time—no hidden prep that blindsides you. This is an ideal weeknight or weekend treat for a family: it needs just a candy thermometer and a pot, no special attention once it's cooling, and it stores beautifully for days.
