Ingredients

  • 2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

Instructions

  • Spray an 8x8-inch baking pan very lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add powdered sugar and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil and then continue to boil for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
