Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cup(s) sugar
5 ounce(s) evaporated milk
1 stick(s) butter
1 package(s) reese's peanut butter chips
7 ounce(s) marshmallow cream
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1 candy thermometer

Steps:

  • Bring sugar, evaporated milk & butter to a boil. The original recipe says about 5 minutes, however I ALWAYS use a candy thermometer!! 240 is the magic number... soft ball stage
  • Once you reach 240 degrees, remove from heat & add vanilla.
  • Stir in marshmallow cream. It takes a minute to all come together... then add peanut butter chips. Stir until everything is melted & combined.
  • Pour into 9x13 glass dish that has been lined in parchment paper.
  • I have found putting dish in the fridge for about an hour allows it to set, but not get too cold.... This is best! Makes the fudge amazing! Cut into small bite size pieces & ENJOY!
