SUPER EASY PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE



Super Easy Peanut Butter Fudge image

I absolutely take no credit for this recipe. I found it floating around Facebook and it sounded so easy that I just HAD to try it. Guess what? It's not only easy, but it tastes delicious! Mom always had trouble making any kind of fudge. It either didn't cook long enough & we ended up with "spoon candy" or it cooked too long &...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 c sugar
1/2 c milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 c peanut butter

Steps:

  • 1. Butter an 8 x 8" baking dish or any dish of similar size. I used a pie plate for this photo. Have all ingredients measured out before starting since you'll be stirring constantly once you start.
  • 2. In a saucepan over MEDIUM heat, bring the sugar and milk to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it's bubbling all over, boil for EXACTLY 2 1/2 minutes. (I set the timer on the microwave. Really.)
  • 3. Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract. Then stir in the peanut butter. Blend well, but quickly, until smooth.
  • 4. Pour into buttered dish and smooth out. Cool before cutting into pieces.

SUPER EASY PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE



Super Easy Peanut Butter Fudge image

This recipe is very simple, but if you do not know how to make candy then please follow instructions precisely. I have altered the instructions after a few reviews that it was crumbly. This is not the recipes fault, it is inexperience. Proper candy making is about temperatures. 4 minutes of boiling (from the time the first small bubbles form) bring this candy up to proper fudge/softball temperature as long as you are cooking over medium heat. When in doubt, use a thermometer.

Time 24m

Yield 48 1 inch squares, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup milk
2 cups peanut butter
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Prepare a 9x11 glass dish by buttering the bottom.
  • In heavy bottom sauce pan combine sugar and milk.
  • Measure and set aside remaining ingredients.
  • Cook over MEDIUM HEAT (temperature too high will cause it to reach temperature sooner and lead to overcooking) stirring occasionally till it comes to a boil then stir constantly.
  • Let boil for 4 minutes EXACTLY, over cooking leads to crumbly fudge as it has moved past softball stage and into softcrack (measure from the first sight of littlest bubbles or use a thermometer - softball stage) I use a stop watch. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients till all melted and smooth.
  • Pour into prepared dish and refrigerate until firm.

Tips:

  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the fudge reaches the correct temperature. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold-water test. To do this, drop a small amount of the fudge into a bowl of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball, it's ready. If it's too runny, continue cooking. If it's too hard, add a little bit of cream or milk.
  • Be patient when stirring the fudge. It will take several minutes for the fudge to thicken and become creamy. Don't be tempted to rush the process, or you'll end up with grainy fudge.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the fudge. This will help to prevent the fudge from scorching.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper before pouring in the fudge. This will make it easier to remove the fudge from the pan once it's set.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy, decadent fudge that's sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give this peanut butter fudge recipe a try.
