Peanut Butter Fudge

 

Enjoy this delicious Peanut Butter Fudge! Smooth as well as creamy, sweetness as well as marshmallowy, this fudge is a delicious vacation process dandy for gifting, sharing, as well as transportation to your loved ones.

Peanut Butter Fudge is the most requested candy I’ve e'er made.

Men, inwards particular, dear it.  Maybe it’s the peanut butter, perhaps it’s because it’s hence sweetness as well as creamy!  I created this recipe past times adapting the master chocolate Fantasy Fudge RECIPE on the dorsum of the Jet-puffed Marshmallow Cream jounce many, many years ago. Everybody loves it!

After making this fudge 400-gazillion times, I’m pretty certain I direct maintain the perfect recipe for success.

To larn the perfect creamy texture, you’ll require a candy or instant read thermometer. For years I used the ‘soft ball stage’ examination to cheque If the mixture was cooked enough. That old-school method tin sack live a picayune to a greater extent than deadening than using a thermometer, as well as the results a picayune less consistent as well as dependable. Pick upwards an cheap thermometer as well as accept the approximate locomote out of candy making 🙂

TIPS for making the BEST Peanut Butter Fudge:

• Use an instant read thermometer (like the 1 featured below) or a regular candy thermometer. Boil the carbohydrate mixture to 240F hence take away from the heat. This is a picayune higher temperature than you lot mightiness make regular fudge, but it’s necessary equally nosotros add together creamy peanut butter to the mix. You desire the fudge to live creamy as well as soft, but non squishy.


• In the video featured above, I was cooking on an induction hot plate which I turned off 1 time the mixture reached 240F. This sort of cooktop cools speedily but commonly I take away the pan from the oestrus when using my regular stove top.


• Be certain to direct maintain all your ingredients measured out as well as ready to larn equally this recipe moves fast 1 time the butter carbohydrate mixture reached 240F.


• Vary your arts and crafts past times sprinkling lite salted peanuts on transcend of the hot fudge, or stir inwards 1 loving cup of peanuts simply earlier pouring into the prepared pan for a chunky fudge experience.


• For the chocolate peanut butter lovers amid us, carve upwards the mixture betwixt 2 8-inch or 9-inch baking pans. Next, build a batch of chocolate Easy Fantasy Fudge  (skip the pecans) and carve upwards betwixt the 2 pans of peanut butter fudge. Instant layered fudge – as well as the best of both worlds!


• Use regular creamy peanut butter similar Jiff or Peter Pan. Natural peanut butters don’t locomote good inwards this recipe.


• It may audio weird but I prefer using margarine instead of butter for this recipe. I never bake amongst margarine anymore, but for fudge as well as our English Toffee it simply industrial plant best. If you lot tin sack honor it, Parkay is my favorite build of margarine for candy making.


• This recipe is easily doubled hence poured into a 9×13-inch baking pan.


• For transportation or gifting exit the fudge inwards 1 large piece, or several bigger pieces tightly wrapped inwards plastic wind as well as a ziplock bag. The lucky recipient tin sack spell when ready to serve as well as there’s less peril for the fudge to dry out out. This also helps amongst longer storage of the fudge at home.


• You tin sack freeze fudge! Wrap tightly inwards plastic wrap, seal inwards a ziplock handbag as well as shop inwards an airtight container for upwards to a month. For longer transportation times, freeze earlier mailing.
