Since fudge is a popular Christmas candy, here are some of my favorite fudge recipes. I wish I had pictures!
The Best Peanut Butter Fudge
2 cups sugar
½ c milk
1-1/3 c peanut butter
1 jar (17 oz) marshmallow crème
In a saucepan combine milk and sugar. Bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes. Add peanut butter and marshmallow crème. Mix well. Pour into a greased 8X8 Pan. Chill. Cut into squares. Makes 3-4 dozen
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Fudge (or Chocolate Fudge)
4 cups sugar
1 jar (7oz) marshmallow crème
1 ½ cup (12oz) can evaporate milk
1-cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter*
1 TBSP butter or margarine
1-cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
Line a 9X13 pan with foil extending over edges. Butter the foil slightly. Set aside.
Stir together sugar, marshmallow crème, evaporated milk, peanut butter, and butter in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Boil and stir for 5 minutes. Remove form heat. Immediately add chocolate chips. Stir until smooth. Pour into greased 9X13 pan cool until firm.
**For chocolate fudge omit the peanut butter from the recipe and add 2 cups of chocolate chips instead of 1 cup. **
Use foil to lift fudge out of pan. Peel off foil. Cut fudge into squares. Store in tightly covered container in a cool dry place. Makes about 8-dozen or 3 ½ pounds of candy.
I have only made this as a chocolate fudge and it is excellent! It makes a ton of fudge, so this is a great recipe if you want to share your fudge.
