To Die For
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am not your average fudge maker, but after trying this recipe, I am convinced that this recipe is one of the best peanut... butter fudge recipes I have ever tried. It was very quick & easy to make and so creamy. I had some roasted peanuts on hand so I topped my fudge with them. Read more

really sweet but still good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

i didn't want to use a cup of butter so i used earth balance instead. ( i'm not vegan anymore but i just can't get used to... actually cooking with dairy.) but it worked just as well. next time i make this i will probably only use half a pound of confectionery sugar instead of the full pound. it's so sweet it's hard to taste the peanut butter. i also added mini chocolate chips.

awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

i added semi sweet chocolate chips while still warm and got a swirl effect... cool. also for the person asking about how to... measure pb. put one cup of water in a 4 cup measuring cup (the pouring kind with a spout for liquids) and then add the pb until the water comes up to the 2 cup mark (adjust for how much pb you need) and then scoop out bp and put in recipe and pour out water in sink. minimal clean up! thanks mom.
