Time 20m

Yield 64 squares, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 cup salted peanuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Grease an 8" square baking dish with butter, oil or cooking spray. Line with waxed paper, leaving the edges of the waxed paper to hang over the edges of the dish.
  • In a medium, heavy bottomed saucepan, melt the chocolate chips with the milk over medium low heat. Stir in the butter until completely melted. Stir in the peanuts, vanilla and salt. Using a rubber spatula spread the mixture on the bottom of the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours. Using a hot, dry knife, cut into 1" squares.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for a richer flavor. A combination of semisweet and dark chocolate works well.
  • To easily measure the corn syrup, lightly grease the measuring cup with cooking spray.
  • Do not overcook the fudge mixture. It should reach a temperature of 234°F (112°C) on a candy thermometer.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, the fudge is ready.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped peanuts just before pouring the fudge into the pan.
  • To cut the fudge into even squares, use a sharp knife and score the top of the fudge before it completely sets.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Ultimate Easy Chocolate Peanut Fudge is a classic recipe that is sure to please everyone. With its rich chocolate flavor, crunchy peanuts, and creamy texture, this fudge is perfect for any occasion.
