| While on vacation I bought this most wonderful candy. It was (I ate it all) called Old fashioned peanut butter crunch. It is soft and crunchy really falls apart easy. This reminds me of a peanut butter finger candy bar without the chocolate and not that crunchy.
The ingredients on the bag says sugar, corn syrup, soda, vanilla, salt,peanuts although I didn't really find any. I believe it is made using lots of peanut butter. Does this candy sound like anything you have made before. it is not a fudge consistency. Would love to have the recipe. Lora |

| It didn't have Rice Krispies or Corn Flakes in it? |
|
| No, it did not. The texture was close to a butter finger candy bar, just a little bit softer. |
|
| I've seen that recipe & meant to try it since I love butterfingers. Here is one, but I haven't tried it yet. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Peanut butter Crunch

| ngraham, Thank you so very much for the link to the recipe. This just might be the recipe I need. I went to the cupboard and the peanut butter jar is almost empty my family must have lived on Peanut butter while I was gone. Now, I am snowed in and can't make it out to the store!!! |
|
| Hope you aren't snowed in long! Personally, I love a good snow, but I don't want it to hang around forever. If you try it, please let me know how it is. I won't be able to make it before Christmas, but it is on my list to try. |
|
| I am still testing and trying to find the correct recipe. The ones I have tried are still a little too hard. Anyone else with any recipes? |

| I was looking for a recipe that was in my mom's book, unfortunately it was tore out, I remember I believe 1/2 cup milk, 1cup sugar, boil for 7 minutes no less or longer (really makes a difference) then remove from heat,add 2 tablespoons peanutbutter creamy or crunchy doesn't matter, stir until thickens and pour into greased pan, cool and cut into squares, very sweet but yummy |

| thank you for posting your mothers recipe. Do you know if this is a soft candy or is it cruchy. I will have to try some. |
|
| From Cooks.com: OLD FASHIONED PEANUT BUTTER CANDY 2 cups sugar Bring milk and sugar to boil. Cook until syrup forms a soft ball (238 degrees F. on a candy thermometer) in cold water in saucer. Remove from heat. Very good! May double recipe for a larger pan of fudge. Cooks Note: A Candy Thermometer is recommended for best results. Submitted by: MARCELLA BENNETT |
