Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c sugar
2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp salt
1/2 c cocoa, unsweetened (mama always used hersheys)
1 c milk (you can use 1 1/3 cup milk and eliminate the cream)
1/3 c heavy cream
1/4 c butter
3/4 c peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c nuts, chopped optional (walnuts, pecans, peanuts)

Steps:

  • 1. In a meduim saucepan over a medium heat, combine both sugars, salt, cocoa, milk and cream; heat until sugar is dissolved.
  • 2. Add butter and cook to 240F degrees F using a candy thermometer. NOTE: my mother never used a candy thermometer, she tested to a softball stage by dropping a small drop of the candy into water.
  • 3. Remove from heat and add peanut butter and vanilla. NOTE: Add nuts at this point if desired.
  • 4. Beat the mixture until it begins to stiffen, and loses its gloss. Pour into an 9 x 9-inch pan coated with butter; allow it to completely set. NOTE: you can use an 8 x 8-inch pan for a thicker/taller fudge. Cut into 1 inch squares.
