this is a buckeye candy recipe
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I took the advice of several of the reviewers and reduced the powdered sugar and butter and put melted chocolate on top. ... When I tasted it I realized I had make buckeyes! Sure enough, I checked my recipe for buckeyes and it was the same, just a 1/2 tsp. of vanilla difference. Peanut butter fudge? I think not!Read more

Aboslutley amazing!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The fudge tasted so incredibly good! And this is coming from a person who does not like peanut butter at all!!!!!! Not even... the smell of it. That says A LOT! Looking through other comments and reviews, I made little adjustments to the recipe. I used less butter, about a 1-1 1/2 sticks. One pound of sugar is about 4 cups. I used 1/2 to 1 cup less sugar which i sifted because there seemed to be a lot of comments about the fudge being too sweet. To prevent clumps, I used an automatic mixer. Hope these tips help. Enjoy the fudge!!!Read more

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.
