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.

If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can use a food processor to blend it until smooth. - **Don't overcook the fudge:** The fudge is ready when it reaches a temperature of 235 degrees Fahrenheit (113 degrees Celsius). If you overcook it, it will become grainy and crumbly. - **Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it:** This will help it to set properly. - **Store the fudge in an airtight container:** This will help it to stay fresh for up to two weeks.
