Here’s a straightforward way to make 3 double batches of peanut butter fudge—rich, creamy, and easy to scale up.
Peanut butter fudge is a no-bake candy made by combining sugar, butter, and peanut butter into a smooth, set mixture.
🥜 What “3 double batches” means
- 1 standard batch × 2 = double batch
- You want 3 × double batches = 6 regular batches total
So we’ll scale a normal recipe ×6.
🍯 Ingredients (6 batches total)
- 12 cups sugar
- 6 cups milk (or evaporated milk for richer texture)
- 6 cups peanut butter
- 3 cups butter
- 6 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare pans
- Line large trays or pans with parchment paper
- Lightly grease for easy removal
2. Cook base mixture
- In a very large pot, combine:
- sugar
- milk
- butter
- Heat on medium, stirring constantly
- Bring to a boil and cook for about 4–5 minutes
3. Add peanut butter
- Remove from heat
- Quickly stir in peanut butter until smooth
4. Finish flavor
- Add vanilla + pinch of salt
- Mix until fully combined
5. Pour and set
- Pour into prepared pans
- Spread evenly
- Let cool at room temperature until firm
- Cut into squares
💡 Tips for best results
- Stir constantly while boiling to prevent burning
- Work quickly once peanut butter is added (it sets fast)
- Use creamy peanut butter for smoother texture
- Let it fully cool before cutting
🧠 Bottom line
Scaling fudge is just repeating the same simple formula—fat (butter + peanut butter) + sugar + heat + cooling = set candy.
If you want, I can also:
- convert this into a smaller kitchen-friendly batch
- or give a microwave peanut butter fudge version 👍
