Moms Peanut Butter Fudge Recipes

Steps:

• Butter an 8 x 8-inch pan. Combine sugar, butter, milk, salt, and chocolate in medium saucepan. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until all ingredients melt and come to a boil. Do not scrape down the sides of the pan. Lower heat, insert candy thermometer, and let boil slowly without stirring for about 10 minutes or until soft ball forms when dropped in a cup of cold water (238 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove pan from heat and cool. Add vanilla. Beat steadily until fudge loses its gloss. Add nuts. Pour into pan. Cool for 20 minutes and cut into squares. Store in airtight container or wrap in tinfoil.

Steps:

• Cook sugar, milk and butter to a soft ball stage.
• Add salt, vanilla and peanut butter and beat until smooth.
• Then pour into a 8x8 square baking dish and chill until firm.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Pour over confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth; pour into an 8x8 inch dish. Chill until firm and cut into squares.

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients (EXCEPT the peanut butter) over medium heat until mixture reaches soft ball stage. This takes about 7 - 7 1/2 minutes. You can use a candy thermometer to check this or you can do what my mom did. She used a small dish of cold water. She would place a very small amount(just a few drops)of the boiling mixture into the water to see if it would hold a ball shape. If it dissolved in the water as soon as it hits the water, it's not ready. If it hardens immediately upon hitting the water, it's too late. If you can push the mixture easily into a ball shape it's ready.
• 2. After you've reached soft-ball stage, add peanut butter. Stir thoroughly and until peanut butter is completely melted. Pour into buttered dish. ENJOY!!
