Time 8h25m

Yield 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 1/2 cups peanut butter chips (from two 10-ounce bags)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
3 tablespoons white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons chopped roasted salted peanuts

Steps:

  • Line an 8-inch square baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
  • Combine the sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter chips butter and salt in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-low heat and stir frequently with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape the bottom, until the peanut butter chips are completely melted, about 5 minutes.
  • When the peanut butter chip mixture is mostly melted, combine the crunchy peanut butter and white chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring, until melted, about 1 minute.
  • Spread the melted peanut butter chip mixture into the prepared baking dish. Immediately drizzle the white chocolate mixture on top. Drag a butter knife through the white chocolate to make a marbled pattern on top. Sprinkle with the chopped peanuts. Let cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Using the foil, lift the fudge out of the baking dish and cut into 16 small squares. Best serve chilled.

Peanut Butter M&M Fudge image

THE most intense peanut butter flavor and creamy texture. Ever the crowd pleaser. I've been getting requests for this delectable confection for 30 years! This is my adaptation of an old mail-in brand name recipe.

Categories     Candy

Time 20m

Yield 1 8" square pan, 49 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 2/3 ounces M&M's plain chocolate candy (This is the individual snack size. Use 2 bags if using peanut M&Ms)

Steps:

  • Carefully line an 8" square baking pan with parchment paper. Fold the corners carefully and tape the sides if necessary. Don't worry, it doesn't get baked!
  • Add sugar, butter and evaporated milk to a heavy 2 quart saucepan. On high heat, stir mixture and bring to a full rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue boiling and stirring for 5 minutes, making sure to continuously scrape down the sides. Remove from heat, and allow to cool for 2 minutes. Add peanut butter, and stir until completely melted and incorporated. Add vanilla and marshmallows, and stir until completely melted and incorporated. There should be no visible streaks of peanut butter or marshmallow.
  • Pour mixture into parchment lined baking pan, tilting or shaking for uniform thickness. While mixture is still warm, press M&Ms into the top of the fudge. I use an even grid pattern, typically 7 across and 7 down. Keep in mind that it's much easier to cut around M&Ms than through them. Press deeply enough to avoid popping out later. If M&Ms start to crack after being pressed into the fudge, the mixture is too hot. In that case, wait a few minutes, and try again.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Carefully lift out the fudge by grabbing opposite sides of the parchment paper. Cut even rows between M&Ms, cleaning your knife in hot water between cuts, or when buildup causes messy cutting.
  • Assemble a second set of ingredients, and get ready to make another batch because these will be gone before you know it!

FANTASY FUDGE (PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE)



Fantasy Fudge (Peanut Butter Fudge) image

This recipe is from the mother of a student, and it is the BEST peanut butter fudge I have ever had. I usually use real butter and not margarine when I cook, so I will substitute the margarine in this recipe. From what I have tasted, however, it is still delicious when made with margarine.
