1/4 lb butter
1 can evaporated milk
1 jar of marshmallow cream
1 jar of crunchy peanut butter. (If you want to make this recipe more buttery and less sweet, add an extra jar of peanut butter).
Using a large and heavy pot,combine your sugar, butter and milk. Bring it to the boiling point while stirring. Take care not to burn this peanut butter fudge recipe.
Cook this until the mixture makes a firm ball when you test it in cold water. This takes about fifteen minutes.
Remove from heat and add the marshmallow cream and the peanut butter. Mix thoroughly.
Butter a nine inch by twelve inch pan and turn the fudge into this pan. Allow it to partially set, then cut into serving size pieces. Allow it to set completely.
For an added twist, try crushing some butterscotch candies with the rolling pin. Added the crushed pieces to the top of the fudge before it cools.
Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe #3: Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Fudge
2 cups granulated sugar2/3 cup milk
2 tbsp light corn syrup
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk chocolate chips
Using a heavy saucepan, bring the sugar, milk and corn syrup to a boil, stirring all the while. Continue boiling but do not stir until mixture reaches the soft-ball stage,or reaches 234 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer.
Remove from heat. Add the butter without stirring. Cool to lukewarm, which is 100 degrees Fahrenheit on your candy thermometer. Add the vanilla and the peanut butter. Beat the mixture until it thickens. It loses its gloss at this point. This does not take long,so watch carefully.
Then moving rapidly, add the chocolate chips. Pour it into a buttered eight by eight inch pan.
