| a few years ago I found a recipe for awesome PB fudge. It contained only granulated suger, PB, water and chocolate chips for the top. It was so good!!! I have lost the recipe and cannot recreate the measurmenta and cooking time. Does anyone have this recipe? /Abi |

| I don't have that one but I saved this one posted by Jenn here a while back. My mom made this for many years every Christmas. The original recipe had 1 jar of marshmallow cream, but we thought it made the fudge too sweet so she left it out. Source: Better Homes & Gardens Peanut Butter Fudge Butter sides of heavy 2-qt. sauce pan. In it, combine 2 cups granulated sugar and 2/3 cup milk. Stir over medium heat until sugar disolves and mixture boils. Cook to softball stage. (NOTE: Do not cook too long or mixture will be too dry.) Remove from heat; quickly add: 1 cup chunky peanut butter 1 6-oz. package (1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips 1 tsp. vanilla Blend. Pour into buttered 9x9x2 pan*. Score, cut when firm. *A cookie sheet can be used instead for thinner pieces. |

| Thanks Ginger for saving and posting that. :-) I haven't made it in a while but it's been a favorite in my family for years. If you are interested, I will post the recipe with the marshmallow cream included. Since we leave it out, we have to be very careful to not overcook or the mixture will be dry. And, not everyone will find it too sweet with the marshmallow cream. Jen |

| Ginger -- finally, I remembered! To make my peanut butter fudge recipe with the marshmallow cream, just add 1/2 of a pint jar of marshmallow cream in the same step where you add the peanut butter and chocolate pieces. Here's the recipe again but this time with the marshmallow cream....... And again, thank you for posting it here -- it's one of our old family favorites. Peanut Butter Fudge Butter sides of heavy 2-qt. sauce pan. In it, combine 2 cups granulated sugar and 2/3 cup milk. Stir over medium heat until sugar disolves and mixture boils. Cook to softball stage (234°). Remove from heat; quickly add: 1/2 of a pint jar marshmallow cream 1 cup chunky peanut butter 1 6-oz. package (1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips 1 tsp. vanilla Blend. Pour into buttered 9x9x2 pan*. Score, cut when firm. *A cookie sheet can be used instead for thinner pieces. |
