Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 1/2 cups confectioners (powdered sugar)
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl and set it aside.
- Grease an 8 x 8 pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a medium-size saucepan set to medium heat, melt the butter.
- Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar, salt, and milk.
- Stir the mixture frequently until you start to see bubbles. Then, start a 2-minute timer.
