One of the best things in this world is home made peanut butter fudge. My cousin Cathy made some for my mom's funeral luncheon and I have used her recipe ever since. I have named it "Mom's funeral fudge" which may sound morbid..... but actually isn't in my mind.
Anyhow... here is the recipe:
In a 2 quart saucepan put:
1 stick of unsalted butter
3 cups of sugar
3/4 cup of whole milk
Cook, stirring constantly over med-hi heat until mixture comes to a boil. Turn heat down to medium and let boil without stirring for 4 minutes.
Remove from heat. Add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 1 cup (more or less depending on how peanut buttery you like your fudge) of creamy peanut butter. Or chunky if you like. I always use creamy Jif. I have used Adams natural peanut butter and it tastes fabulous, but it does make a slightly "grainier" fudge.
Stir the peanut butter til it's melted. Let the pot sit for 15 minutes to cool.
Then stir it vigorously for about a minute and pour it into a buttered 8 x 8 pan.
Let it sit to harden.
This is heaven. Yum Yum.
