my mom's recipe for peanut butter fudge. Easy ingredients to keep on hand, quick to make, and very creamy. (Cooling time is not included.)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Butter a plate or pan and set aside.
  2. 2

  3. 3
    Be sure to stir mixture constantly while cooking.
  4. 4
    Remove from heat and add peanut butter and vanilla.
  5. 5
    Mix with electric mixer on high speed until candy begins to lose its glossy appearance.

    Quickly pour into the buttered plate or pan.

I had to buy margarine for the first time in my life (honest! lol) to make this lol. The only change I made was to sprinkle some crushed honey roasted peanuts on top of half and some shaved dark chocolate on the other for a little extra something. Your mother made some tasty fudge! I made in a deep 8x8 for thicker pieces. The kids at dbf's house DEVOURED what I brought over, the adults were sad they didn't get much lol.

    Made this in a 13"x9" baking dish, &, following directions carefully, came up with a great tasting fudge, a nice change from the usual chocolate (Bite my tongue! I'm a chocoholic!) that is usual around here! Thanks for posting a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe cooking game]

    This was a bit more involved then my "usual" fudge but it was good. I followed the recipe as written other then I used Splenda instead of sugar as that is all I buy. I also put mine in a 13X9 pan. Everyone enjoyed it.
