This Easy Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge is to die for. Made with butter, sugar, milk vanilla and peanut butter. So rich and sweet I absolutely love it.
Growing up my mother always made chocolate fudge in the winter and put it out in the cold to get hard . What a great childhood memory. There are so many different types of fudge . What my mother made was pretty much pure sugar , similar to this this recipe with chocolate verses the peanut butter. My husband makes the thick type of fudge with the marshmallow fluff in it. Also delicious. I was always afraid to attempt make any kind of candy . However, I have now attempted and succeeded with a few Easy Christmas Fudge , Homemade Christmas Mints and Salty Sweet Crockpot Christmas Candy.
Can You Freeze Fudge ?
Yes, in an airtight container it will keep in the freezer for 2-3 months.
Can I Use Crunchie Peanut Butter?
You absolutely can use crunchie if you like that extra crunch. Personally Im not a fan.
Sometimes even when you follow directions fudge just doesn't come out. It gets grainy , or doesn't set. Let me share with you that it might not be a total lost.
