BUTTERSCOTCH PEANUT FUDGE

Butterscotch Peanut Fudge image

I am a substitute teacher and found this fudge recipe in a very old book in our school library. It was written before microwaves, so I modified it to make a quick treat. The faculty and staff gave it rave reviews. -Peggy Key, Grant, Alabama
