Tips:

  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. This will help prevent the chews from being too hard or too soft.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Make sure the peanut butter is smooth and creamy before adding it to the syrup. This will help prevent the chews from being grainy.
  • If the chews are too thick, add a little more milk or cream. If they are too thin, add a little more peanut butter.
  • Be patient when cutting the chews. They will be very sticky at first, but they will firm up as they cool.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter chews are a delicious and easy-to-make candy. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a sweet treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a batch of peanut butter chews that everyone will love.
