This Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge of Mine Is Sure to Please!

Of all homemade candies, I can think of nothing that outranks that sweet deliciousness and varieties of fudge.  Whether you want to impress guests or to savor when the mood strikes, this is the perfect recipe to serve peanut butter lovers because it always brings instant smiles once it touches their lips.  Trust me, but this light creamy confection will be the blond fudge you will want to make batches of year round once you sample it.

If you want to make your fudge nuttier with a crunchier texture, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped peanuts to this recipe.  However, I  am a purist when it comes to this one.  I usually just keep mine smooth so it can slowly melt into your mouth instead of chewing more quickly because of nuts. 

My Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge

2 cups of sugar
1 cup of milk
1--7 oz. jar of marshmallow creme
1--12 oz. jar of peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of chopped peanuts (optional)

Combine the sugar and milk in a 2-quart saucepan.  Slowly bring this a boil starting on medium heat.  Cook, stirring constantly to a soft-ball stage (234-degrees).  (If you don't have a candy thermometer, just get a cold glass of water and drop a little of the cooked mixture in.  Press that ball and if it does not become gooey between your fingers, it is the right texture).

Remove the mixture from the heat and add the remaining ingredients.  Pour into a buttered 9-inch pan; cool at room temperature.

When the fudge has set and is still warm, but into squares. 

This recipe makes about two pounds of fudge.

ENJOY!

Recipe: My No-Fail Choco-Marshmallow Fudge Can Brighten The Holidays!

Now is the perfect time when you can bake all those different varieties of fancy cookies to keep on hand for family and guests.  However, homemade fudge is also something easy to make and quite special to serve. 

The recipe that I want to share with you is for one of my favorites.  This fudge is velvety smooth and dripping with chocolate along with a crunchy trail of chopped nuts throughout its incredible goodness. 

I do hope when you get a chance that you will make a batch sometime because it is so utterly delicious that it would be a shame to keep this recipe all to myself!

My No-Fail Choco-Marshmallow Fudge

7-ounce jar of marshmallow cream
1-1/2 cups of sugar
2/3 cup of evaporated milk
1/4 cup of margarine (not spread)
1/4 teaspoon of salt
12 ounce package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Combine the first five ingredients and cook them until bringing to a full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly for about five minutes.  (You need the sugar crystals to completely dissolve.)

Take off the heat and then add the chocolate chips and stir through. 

Next, add the nuts and vanilla and stir in to mix.

Pour into a buttered 8 x 8-inch glass pan.  Then chill until firm.

ENJOY!
