My Mother's Recipe
The ingredients for this homemade fudge are commonly found in most homes without a special trip to the grocery store which makes it really easy to prepare this candy without previous preparation and planning.
Even now, if I just mention in passing that I would like some Peanut Butter Fudge, my Mom will show up at my door within a few hours with a special delivery

proclaiming "it really isn't anything at all to make that for you."Let me tell you, I have cooked this fudge for decades now and I know preparing it is not hard, but having it made for me is truly a precious gift and I am grateful.
Thanks Mom, for this delicious treat!
Ingredients for My Mother's Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe
Directions for Peanut Butter Fudge
In a large, heavy saucepan, combine sugar, peanut butter & milk. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to a medium boil. Stir often. It takes 18-25 min. of boiling to cook candy to a soft ball stage. (See Note Below)
Remove from heat. Add Butter & Vanilla
Beat by hand until it hardens. For a faster set, place the pan of candy in shallow, cold water in your sink while you beat the mixture. You can even add ice to the water to make it colder. Just don't allow water to spill over into your pan of candy.
Pour into prepared buttered glass dish. Let it set for about an hour at room temperature (or refrigerate) and then enjoy!
Personal preference: I like the fudge warm, so I do not refrigerate it.
Soft Ball Stage Test: Put a drop of candy in cold water. The candy should easily form into a soft ball.

Recommended Pan for Cooking Peanut Butter Fudge
I have used several types or brands of pans when making fudge. To date, my personal favorite when cooking fudge is a Magnalite 2 Quart pan. These pans hold heat at a consistent temperature.
Using a lighter weight pan will require longer cooking time.
Because these pans are aluminum, I do not use them for everyday cooking, but I do prefer them when making homemade candy.

Amazon Price: $129.54 (as of 02/17/2012)
My Glass Baking Dish
I prefer using a glass baking dish for cooling fudge. It is easy to cut and remove fudge from a glass dish!

Amazon Price: $12.99 (as of 02/17/2012)
* 8-inch square Pyrex pan
