I have shared a recipe for peanut butter fudge once before, but that was before my Grandma Carol’s recipe turned up after being lost for awhile! I was so happy when my mom told me she had it. This is the smoothest, most peanut-buttery fudge you will ever taste. Make a batch for your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day, because nothing says I love you quite like this delicious treat!
Here is what you need… This makes a 13″x9″ pan, so you might want to be prepared to share, because trust me when I say that it is addictive!
First, mix together the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk in a large saucepan.
Heat this over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Bring the mixture to a boil. Make sure that it reaches 234 degrees F. It’s a good idea to test your candy thermometer for accuracy every so often so that your candy turns out as you expect. Boil some water and make sure that it reads the boiling point for your elevation.
After it reaches 234 degrees, take it off of the heat.
Now, it’s time to stir in the vanilla extract, marshmallow creme, and peanut butter.
Stir, stir, stir… until it is very well mixed.
Pour the fudge into a greased 13″x9″ pan and let it cool. This is the hardest part. I swear, this stuff is very addictive, so beware! You might end up eating a few more pieces than you originally planned 😉
