Instructions
Prepare the Pan. Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a little coconut oil for easy removal. Set aside.
Heat the Sugar and Milk. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and milk. Stir constantly over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for exactly 2½ minutes, ensuring you stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
2 Cups Sugar, ½ Cup Milk
Add the Peanut Butter and Vanilla. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract using a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract, ¾ Cup Peanut Butter
Pour and Cool. Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula. Let it cool at room temperature until firm, or refrigerate for faster setting.
Slice and Enjoy. Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice it into small squares for serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.

How Many Pieces Does This Make?
For an 8x8-inch pan, you can typically cut the fudge into 16 small squares (2-inch pieces) or 25 bite-sized squares (1.5-inch pieces). The number of pieces depends on how large or small you want them.
