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.

MOM'S CHRISTMAS FUDGE



Mom's Christmas Fudge image

This has been a Christmas staple in our house since the early 1980s. It's ridiculously easy and pretty yummy. (I use the plastic bag over my hand trick to smooth out the fudge.)

Provided by FrackFamily5 CACT

Categories     Christmas Fudge

Time 2h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 ½ (6 ounce) packages semisweet chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup peanut butter

Steps:

  • Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir in peanut butter until smooth. Pour in sweetened condensed milk and stir until well combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Using the back of a spoon or with a plastic bag over your hand, press the fudge into the pan. Refrigerate until firm, 2 to 4 hours.
  • Remove fudge from pan and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 134.3 calories, Carbohydrate 16.6 g, Cholesterol 5.6 mg, Fat 7.3 g, Fiber 0.9 g, Protein 3.1 g, SaturatedFat 3.3 g, Sodium 46.6 mg, Sugar 15.1 g

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Old, stale ingredients will produce lackluster fudge. Make sure all your ingredients are as fresh as possible, especially the peanut butter.
  • Don't overcook the fudge: This is the most common mistake people make when making fudge. Once the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (234-235°F), remove it from the heat immediately. If you cook it too long, it will become grainy and crumbly.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help it to set properly and prevent it from crumbling. Once it's completely cool, you can cut it into squares or any other desired shape.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature: Fudge will keep for up to two weeks at room temperature. If you want to store it longer, you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to six weeks or in the freezer for up to three months.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter fudge is a classic dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its rich, creamy texture and sweet, nutty flavor, it's the perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe will help you make delicious peanut butter fudge that everyone will love.
