GRANDMA'S CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE



Grandma's Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge image

This old-fashioned style of peanut butter fudge is not that easy to find out there. The ones I tend to run across always seem to be the soft, creamy version, which is not what I'm into. If it's going to feel like peanut butter in my mouth, then what's the point? No, I want something that feels dense and firm in my fingers but will almost instantly liquefy in when it hits my tongue.

AUNT HANNAH'S FOOLPROOF PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE



Aunt Hannah's Foolproof Peanut Butter Fudge image

Creamy. Soft. Peanut Buttery. My sister-in-law gave me this recipe nearly 30 years ago, and my family and friends have insisted that I make multiple batches of it during the Holidays ever since. They've been known to monitor the amount they each receive in goodie packages, and to actually fight over it. I usually omit the nuts, so that the creamy, melt in your mouth texture isn't hindered.

Time 30m

Yield 1 13x9 pan

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
5 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 dash salt
7 ounces marshmallow creme
14 ounces peanut butter (Jiff \ good quality peanut butter is a MUST)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Lightly butter or grease a 13x9 pan; set aside.
  • Measure out peanut butter, marshmallow creme and vanilla onto a large, lightly buttered or greased plate; set aside.
  • Place evaporated milk and sugar into a large heavy pot; stir until combined. Add butter or margarine and salt.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring; adjust heat until a consistent medium-boil is achieved. (You need to lower the heat if the bubbles are popping and spurting dangerously close to your hand while stirring.).
  • Boil 12 minutes (more or less), stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat; quickly add remaining ingredients and beat by hand until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour into prepared pan. Let cool. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Note for subsequent batches: If your batch is less firm than you'd like, increase cooking time a minute or so. If it's too firm, or becomes dry or crystal-ly when cooled, decrease cooking time or add more peanut butter.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. This will help to prevent the fudge from being too hard or too soft.
  • Stir the fudge constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent it from scorching.
  • Be patient when stirring the fudge. It will take some time for it to thicken.
  • Once the fudge has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. This will help to give the fudge a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Pour the fudge into a prepared pan and let it cool completely. This will take several hours or overnight.
  • Once the fudge is cooled, cut it into squares and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Peanut butter fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a smooth, creamy, and flavorful fudge that will be loved by everyone. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this peanut butter fudge recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
