AUNT HELEN'S OLD FASHIONED CHOCOLATE FUDGE WITH PEANUT BUTTER



Aunt Helen's Old Fashioned Chocolate Fudge With Peanut Butter image

This is real old fashioned fudge made by boiing sugar, milk, and chocolate to the softball stage. It's tricky, but once you get it you won't make fudge another way. It took me a long time to get this right and I learned some tricks along the way which I'm sharing here.

Categories     Candy

Time 30m

Yield 1 8x8 inch square pan, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 cups whole milk
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup jif chunky peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Butter 1 8x8 inch square glass pan and set aside.
  • melt chocolate in milk using sturdy, heavy bottomed pan.
  • Stir in salt and sugar with wooden spoon until just mixed.
  • Cook the chocolate, milk, salt and sugar mixture on medium or a little less than medium heat until it reaches softball stage. DO NOT STIR and DO NOT SCRAPE THE SIDES OF THE PAN.
  • Softball stage: You can use a candy thermometer. I find the thermometers unreliable, so I check the progress of the fudge by dropping a small amount in cold water. If I can easily make a soft ball of it with my fingers, it is ready. With one batch of fudge, this generally takes about 8 minutes or a little longer. Obviously if you double the batch it takes more time. However, don't just assume 8 minutes will work. Either use the softball test or a candy thermometer to make sure. What works on my stove may be different for yours.
  • When fudge has reached softball stage, place in a sink partially filled with ice and water. Make sure there's not so much that it could seep into the pan. This is just to cool the pan.
  • Stir in peanut butter and vanilla with a wooden spoon. Do not scrape the sides of the pan. Stir until the peanut butter is melted and the fudge begins to thicken and lose some of its gloss. Pour into prepared pan. Cool, slice, and enjoy.
  • Don't skip the peanut butter. It gives it an amazing layer of flavor and also helps it set faster. I have only tried this with Jif so I can't guarantee any other peanut butter will be as good.

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.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Desserts     Candy Recipes     Fudge Recipes     Peanut Butter

Time 1h20m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound powdered sugar
1 ¼ cups unsalted butter
1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Sift sugar through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl.
  • Heat butter and peanut butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk to combine and cook until bubbles appear on the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in salt and vanilla extract. Pour over powdered sugar in the bowl. Mix together using a spatula until smooth.
  • Spread mixture into an 8x8-inch baking pan lined with plastic wrap. Wrap fully and refrigerate until firm enough to cut but not too hard, 1 to 3 hours.
  • Unwrap fudge and cut into small cubes. Let warm up on the counter before cutting if needed.

Tips:

  • Use a large saucepan or Dutch oven for making the fudge. This will give the fudge plenty of room to bubble and expand.
  • Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved before bringing the mixture to a boil. This will help prevent the fudge from crystallizing.
  • Do not overcook the fudge. The mixture should reach 235°F (113°C) on a candy thermometer. If it is overcooked, it will become hard and crumbly.
  • Do not stir the fudge while it is cooling. This will make the fudge grainy.
  • Once the fudge has cooled, beat it with a wooden spoon or spatula until it becomes thick and creamy. This will give the fudge a smooth and velvety texture.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned peanut butter chocolate fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich and creamy texture, this fudge is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
