Super Easy Peanut Butter Fudge image

This recipe is very simple, but if you do not know how to make candy then please follow instructions precisely. I have altered the instructions after a few reviews that it was crumbly. This is not the recipes fault, it is inexperience. Proper candy making is about temperatures. 4 minutes of boiling (from the time the first small bubbles form) bring this candy up to proper fudge/softball temperature as long as you are cooking over medium heat. When in doubt, use a thermometer.

Time 24m

Yield 48 1 inch squares, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup milk
2 cups peanut butter
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Prepare a 9x11 glass dish by buttering the bottom.
  • In heavy bottom sauce pan combine sugar and milk.
  • Measure and set aside remaining ingredients.
  • Cook over MEDIUM HEAT (temperature too high will cause it to reach temperature sooner and lead to overcooking) stirring occasionally till it comes to a boil then stir constantly.
  • Let boil for 4 minutes EXACTLY, over cooking leads to crumbly fudge as it has moved past softball stage and into softcrack (measure from the first sight of littlest bubbles or use a thermometer - softball stage) I use a stop watch. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients till all melted and smooth.
  • Pour into prepared dish and refrigerate until firm.
