Mom's Peanut Butter Fudge image

I've had many compliments on this fudge. My mom used to make it all the time when I was growing up. I always thought it was my grandmother's recipe and that's where she got it from.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 c evaporated milk (not condensed)
1/2 c water
1 c peanut butter
2 c sugar
dash(es) salt

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!!
