Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil sugar, cocoa, and pet milk until soft-ball stage.
- Add butter, marshmallow cream, peanut butter, and vanilla.
- Blend until smooth.
- Pour into a buttered 9 x 13 inch dish.
- Let cool before cutting into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the perfect soft-ball stage, use a candy thermometer or drop a small amount into cold water to check for the right consistency. If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, you can increase the cocoa to 4 tablespoons. For a nut-free version, substitute the peanut butter with sunbutter or omit it entirely. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better blending.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into bite-sized squares for a delightful treat that pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa. You can also top it with crushed nuts or drizzle melted chocolate for extra flair. For a fun twist, try serving it alongside Fudge Sickles for a delightful dessert platter that will impress guests.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you live in a warm climate, consider refrigeration to prevent melting. To reheat, place the fudge in a microwave-safe dish and heat in short bursts, stirring in between, until just warm and soft enough to reshape if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular milk instead of pet milk?
Yes, you can substitute regular whole milk for pet milk. However, pet milk is evaporated milk, which gives a creamier texture. If using regular milk, you may want to slightly reduce the amount to achieve a similar consistency.
How long does this fudge take to set?
Typically, the fudge will take about 1 to 2 hours to cool and set properly at room temperature. If you're in a hurry, you can place it in the refrigerator to speed up the process, but be sure to let it come back to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
Can I add other ingredients to the fudge?
Absolutely! Feel free to incorporate extras like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even a swirl of caramel for added flavor. Just be mindful not to add too much, as it may affect the fudge's consistency.
