Ingredients

  • 4 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup, or white Karo syrup
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 9 ounces (1 cup) smooth peanut butter (recommended: Jif)
  • 2 heaping tablespoons marshmallow cream

Directions

Lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch pan and set aside.

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 242.5 degrees F, between the soft and hard ball stages.

Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Beat the mixture with a large wooden spoon until it starts to get stiff. Pour into the prepared pan and let harden.

To serve, cut into pieces about 1 1/2-inches square and serve.

    Absolutely Wonderful

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I am an unknown fudge connoisseur of sorts. I have made fudge for 35 years, and have requests for my fudge, and had to ship... it (to family and friends only) to Germany, New England, and Montana. Peanut butter fudge in particular. I tried this recipe today except being a Vermonter, I switched out the corn syrup or Karo for pure Vermont Maple Syrup. YES indeed, the flavor came through. My daughter is here from Deleware and wants to take it home early to save me postage mailing it this year. So instead of my normal recipe I made this one and it is the best. Now for a search for a good Chocolate one so I can do my half and halfs, peanut butter layer and chocolate layer combination fudge. Thanks for sharing this most wonderful recipe. Charley GRead more

    If this does not turn out right YOU messed it up!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I have made this fudge for years now and it is AMAZING!!! I have never found a fudge recipe that is so creamy and rich. If... it turns out grainy or dry it's not this recipe. I have learned to go slow...give the sugar time to melt and after I have it to the soft ball stage I incorporate my Peanut Butter, Vanilla, and Marshmellow cream in my stand mixer then let it beat until it cools off. THIS REALLY IS THE BEST FUDGE THERE IS!!!!Read more

    The BEST peanut butter fudge recipe I've EVER used!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This fudge is fantastic! Everyone raves over it, and I come from a long line of peanut butter fudge fanatics. If your... lookng for a peanut butter fudge that melts in your mouth, this is it! I've shared this recipe with MANY others since first making 2 years ago for the cookie/candy samplers that I give away to friends and family during the holidays. I just follow the directions exactly as they are and it turns out flawless every time. I hate to admit it, but it's better than my grandmother used to make, God rest her soul.Read more

    first time fudge makers!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    My friend and I made this fudge for Christmas for our workplace. Neither of us had ever tried fudge before, but this was... super easy and tasted absolutely fantastic... it was soft and melts in your mouth! We constantly stirred it and used a low-medium heat and it came out great, highly recommended!Read more
