Ingredients

½ cup milk
3 jumbo marshmallows or 6 regular size
¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups peanut butter

Instructions

Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
To a medium sized sauce pan, add the milk and marshmallows and heat over medium high heat until the marshmallows have completely melted.
1/2 cup milk, 3 jumbo marshmallows
Reduce heat to medium and add the sugars, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until completely incorporated and sugar no longer appears grainy.
3/4 cup white sugar, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon salt
Add the peanut butter and cook for two more minutes.
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
Remove from heat and pour the fudge out into your prepared pan.
Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight before cutting into 1" squares.

Notes

You can also make this in a 9x9 pan, but it will be thinner, or an 8x4 loaf pan and it will be thicker.
Add chocolate chips for a delicious flavor combo.
Natural peanut butter is fine—just stir well to avoid oily texture.
Store in an air tight container for up to 3 months.
Can be made in the microwave—just use a microwave-safe bowl.
