Peanut Butter Fudge
Oh boy! Peanut Butter Fudge is one of our favorites. Out of all the fudge recipes we have tried this one is the easiest while still retaining that traditional fudge flavor. Some of them can get pretty involved.
Look at the bottom of the page if you want a really quick recipe. We usually make some extra to put into take home bags for our guests.
Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 cups sugar
- 1 stick butter
- 11-ounce can evaporated milk
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 7-ounce jar marshmallow cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup walnuts (optional)
Preparation:
- In heavy saucepan, bring to a boil the evaporated milk, butter and sugar
- Cook over medium heat to 238 degrees, according to candy thermometer
- Remove from heat
- Quickly add remaining ingredients and pour into a buttered baking dish
- Allow to cool and cut into pieces
Fudge Tip:
If you don't want to go to all this trouble, or in a hurry, you can melt a pound of white chocolate (sweetened) and stir in a cup of peanut butter. Pour into buttered dish and allow to cool. It's not quite as good but will satisfy a peanut butter fudge sweet tooth.
