How to Make 5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup milk.
  2. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Continue to boil for exactly 3 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent sticking and burning.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 10 ounces (1 cup) marshmallow cream and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
  5. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm, before cutting into squares.
