Step 1
Start by greasing an 8x8-inch square pan so the fudge doesn’t stick. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and milk. Stir occasionally and cook until it reaches the soft ball stage—about 234 to 240°F (112 to 115°C). While that’s heating, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth, then add it to the saucepan and stir well. Take the pan off the heat and beat the mixture for about 2 minutes to cool it down a bit. Next, stir in the vanilla and peanut butter until everything is nicely combined. Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan, spread it out evenly, and let it cool completely before cutting it into squares. Then, dig in and enjoy!
