🤎 Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Fudge (Triple Double Batch Edition)

A Recipe So Simple, So Sweet, You’ll Want to Pass It Down Like a Heirloom

“To keep getting my recipes… you must express something.”
Here’s mine:
Gratitude for sugar, peanut butter, and the people who keep these traditions alive.

📖 A Sweet Little History

Peanut butter fudge is one of those old-timey treats that never needed reinvention. Born in American kitchens sometime in the early 20th century, it was a way to make a decadent dessert with few, affordable pantry staples — no fancy candy thermometers, no cream, just good old sugar and love.

From church bake sales to grandma’s Christmas table, this recipe has passed through generations of sticky fingers and warm hearts.

And now it’s yours.
Only this time, we’re not making a little batch.
We’re making three double batches — because fudge this good doesn’t last long.

🍯 Ingredients (for 3 Double Batches = 6 Single Batches)

Let’s scale up your original recipe to yield a generous party-sized batch (or enough to gift and still keep some hidden for yourself):

6 cups granulated sugar
3 cups whole milk
6 cups creamy peanut butter
6 tsp pure vanilla extract (2 tbsp)

💡 Use good quality peanut butter — the creamy kind, not the natural one with oil separation.

🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prep First

Grease or line a large baking dish or several small pans (8×8 or loaf pans work great) with parchment paper or butter.
This stuff sets fast — so have your pans ready before you cook.

Step 2: Cook the Base

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine:
- 6 cups sugar
- 3 cups milk
Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Once it reaches a boil, set a timer for 3 minutes. Stir often to avoid scorching.

This is where the sugar dissolves, the magic begins, and your kitchen smells like childhood happiness.

Step 3: Stir in the Gold

After 3 minutes of boiling, remove from heat.
Quickly stir in:
- 6 cups peanut butter
- 6 tsp vanilla extract
Stir vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

The fudge will start thickening as it cools — move fast but stir with love.

Step 4: Pour & Set

Immediately pour into prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Let sit at room temperature for 2–3 hours or until fully set.
Cut into squares and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks (or freeze for later indulgence).

🍬 Method, Formation & Why It Works

This peanut butter fudge works like a dream because:

Sugar + milk forms a simple syrup base that firms beautifully when cooled.
Peanut butter adds richness, smooth texture, and that salty-sweet contrast.
Vanilla gives it warmth and balance.
No candy thermometer required — just timing, stirring, and heart.

This is the kind of recipe where technique is passed through whispers, not written rules.

💕 For Lovers & Loved Ones

This fudge isn’t just a treat. It’s a sweet offering.

Wrap it in wax paper and gift it with a handwritten note.
Sneak it into your partner’s lunchbox.
Serve it after dinner on date night with coffee.
Take it to your grandma’s house and watch her eyes light up.
Share it with the people who say “hello” — and keep asking for more.

“The fudge is amazing.”
“Thanks. It’s made with peanut butter and memories.”
