Ingredients
2 ½
cups
(500g) white sugar
12
oz
(354mL) evaporated milk
1
cup
(264g) creamy peanut butter
1
tbs
(14g) butter
1
tsp
(5mL) vanilla
Instructions
Butter or grease the sides of 3 quart sauce pan. This helps with preventing crystallization of sugar.
Grease or butter a 8x8 (20cm) pan. You may also just use parchment or line with aluminum before greasing for easier cleanup. Place on a cooling rack.
Measure out peanut butter, vanilla, and butter. Set aside.
Add milk and sugar to pan.
Turn temperature to medium low and stir gently until sugar is dissolved.
Turn up heat to medium high and cook until softball stage 237 - 239F (114 - 115C.)
Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla to stop cooking. Stir in peanut butter until just combined.
Pour immediately into 8x8 pan and leave on counter until cool, approximately 2 hours.
