My family loves fudge so I make a batch often. It also makes a great gift during the holiday season.Robin Hazzard, Howes Cave, New York Ingredients:
11 tablespoons butter, softened, divided |
2 cups sugar |
1 cup evaporated milk |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 package (10 ounces) peanut butter chips |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup light corn syrup |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Line a 9-in. square pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, salt and 4 tablespoons butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a rapid boil. Boil for 8 minutes or until a candy thermometer reads 226°, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
