Christmas is...

Peanut Butter Fudge, Cookies, Sharing...

There are cookies and candies that I make every year. I found the best peanut better fudge recipe ever a few years ago...it reminds me of the fudge my Aunt Audrey used to make. It's so simple.

4 cups of white sugar
1 cup of packed brown sugar
1 stick of butter (the real stuff! I used salted)
1 can evaporated milk

















(no, these aren't all the ingrediants for my fudge, just a hodge podge of ones I used every Christmas)



















Put the sugars, butter, and milk in a heavy pot...stir constantly til it boils


















When it comes to a good rolling boil, boil for 7 minutes.

After 7 minutes, remove from heat and add:
One 7 ounce jar marshmallow cream
Stir until the marshmallow is well incorporated
Add 1 teaspoon real vanilla
Add 2 cups creamy (or crunchy!) peanut butter
Stir until the peanut butter is completely incoporated
Pour into a 13X9 pan (buttered) and let set up.







Enjoy!!!

It's probably because Luke & and your dad ate it all!!! It wasn't me or Patty... nope, it wasn't us.

Thanks for the recipe...but I prefer to wait for you to make it. I figure it's a "you snooze you lose" situation. I had my first piece before dinner! The next thing I knew there were only about 6 pieces left on the plate!

Yum. your fudge looks amazing ~~ I could never make fudge. It would either turn rock solid in the pan or into something you had to eat with a spoon.

Perhaps I should give it another try ~~ experiment 582 ;)
