This peanut butter fudge is made with 7 common kitchen ingredients. (Corn syrup might be an exception for some kitchens.) This is easy to make and it is smooth and creamy. I have been making it for years and it is great for fund raisers. You can use crunchy peanut butter but I prefer creamy. Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
1/2 cup milk |
2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons white corn syrup |
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 dash salt |
Directions:
1. In a heavy sauce pan over medium heat, mix sugar, milk, margarine and syrup stirring only until sugar dissolves.
2. While the mixture cooks measure out peanut butter and vanilla and line a square dish with foil and butter it.
3. Continue cooking mixture until it reaches soft ball on a candy thermometer.
4. REMOVE FROM HEAT!
5. THIS IS IMPORTANT AND WILL EFFECT OUT COME.
6. Let it sit for just a moment (about 5 seconds).
7. Add peanut butter to hot mixture and stir quickly.
8. Add vanilla and stir.
9. Pour into buttered dish.
10. Let it remain still after pouring and the top will have a glossy shine when it sets up.
11. (about 2 hours).
12. Cut into 1 inch squares.
13. This is very rich.
14. Note: When I am making this for my family, I just butter a glass dish and cut it out.
15. For presentation, it is easier to line the pan and remove it before cutting with a thin sharp knife.
