Categories     Candy

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Remove from heat.
  • Add butter and peanut butter.
  • Stir well, pour into pan, cut in squares. Cool.

Tips:

  • To ensure the fudge sets properly, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and a candy thermometer. A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help distribute heat evenly and prevent scorching, while a candy thermometer will help you accurately monitor the temperature of the fudge mixture.
  • Be patient and stir the fudge mixture constantly. Stirring the fudge mixture constantly will help prevent it from scorching and will ensure that it reaches the correct consistency.
  • Don't overcook the fudge mixture. Overcooked fudge will be grainy and crumbly. To prevent overcooking, remove the fudge mixture from the heat as soon as it reaches the correct temperature.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. Cutting the fudge too soon will cause it to be crumbly. Allow the fudge to cool completely before cutting it into squares or bars.

Mama's old-fashioned hand-beaten chocolate-PB fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
