1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

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

Ingredients

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.
