Melt in Your Mouth Peanut Butter Fudge image

This is a recipe from JIF. I had it on hand, but assume any creamy PB would do. This stuff is heavenly! I have always been a complete failure at fudge. This recipe, because it simmers for 5 minutes is a cinch! Add food coloring for the holidays for an extra special treat!

Time 15m

Yield 36 pieces, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

nonstick cooking spray (Crisco used)
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk (PET used)
1 2/3 cups peanut butter, creamy (Jif used)
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Line a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with aluminum foil and then spray with a no-stick cooking spray.
  • Combine sugar, butter and milk in large saucepan, stirring constantly on medium heat, until mixture comes to a boil.
  • Simmer 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  • Add peanut butter. Stir until well blended. Add marshmallow creme and vanilla. Beat until well blended.
  • Spread in prepared pan. Cool. (I cool mine in the fridge after inital cool down).
  • Cut into candy-sized pieces using a pizza cutter (works GREAT!). Store in covered container.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cookies come together more easily and bake more evenly.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Use a cookie scoop to measure the dough: This will help ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate: This will help the chocolate set properly.
  • Use a variety of toppings: You can use chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even crushed candy bars to decorate the cookies.
