Ingredients

2 cups sugar

2 cups brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 1/3 cups milk

1/4 cup butter

3/4 cup peanut butter

2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, stir together the sugars, salt, cocoa powder, milk, and heat until sugar is dissolved. Add the butter and cook to 238 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
  2. Pour out of the pan into a mixing bowl to cool slightly and with a paddle attachment, stir in the peanut butter and vanilla. Continue beating to cool and stiffen the fudge until it starts to lighten and looses its gloss. Pour it into a greased pan and let it cool completely before cutting into 1 1/2-inch squares.

Get out a large saucepan! The pan I normally use for fudge was way too small. It took a long time to get to temp and when I added the peanut butter I ended up with a dried-up mess. I added some milk to get back to the consistency I expected. Flavor is fine but I won't do this recipe again. However, the chocolate overpowers the peanut butter to me.
