Yummy!
That's all I can say about it. Yummy! Just like I remembered it. Since my mom's recipe was very vague, after my ant boiled and beat the mix, she poured it in a dish and tossed it in the fridge. Well, she didn't toss it literally! She gently set it on a shelf in the fridge. Is that better?
Although it tasted perfect, the consistency was off just a bit. It was more crumbly than I remember. It's not supposed to be very gooey, but it was...I don't know, too dry? My ant says the cold air in the fridge would have helped cause that.
So my ant made another batch. This one she left on the counter, which I brought home with me. A second batch just for me!!!! However, after work tonight, I came home and checked it, and it's still not set as much as it should. I'll probably 'gently set it on the shelf in the fridge' tomorrow night for an hour or two, to see if that helps. But I don't remember my mom ever refrigerating it. Some I'm kind of stumped.
Just did a quick search for "peanut butter fudge" and found several recipes, but all used either butter and/or marshmallow. Mine doesn't. I'm thinking we either need to use a bit more peanut butter or beat it longer before pouring in a pan/dish for cooling. As I said, my mother's recipe is very vague. We'll keep playing with it, but at least it tastes good!

My mom's recipe used butter and marshmallow. I never could get mine to set like hers so I quit trying. She said something about the recipe not being quite right and she'd forgetten to adjust it on the recipe card but would do it from memory. Mine always turned out like a very thick frosting that I had to store in the fridge. Why bother when I cant get it to work right? Don't need all that sugar anyhow.
ReplyDeleteAt least it was yummy!!
ReplyDeleteYep, at least it was yummy. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't care for peanut butter fudge, but my sister, Linda, is always making it for Karl and Dad. They say it's the best. (i prefer chocolate fudge)
If it was me, my drooling over it would keep it runny. You might want to lean back a little?
ReplyDeleteYou might try using a candy thermometer to cook it to the right temperature. That will probably fix the not set problem. It sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteHey! how about posting the recipe and we'll all try to make it? lol
Whoever first thought of putting peanut butter together with chocolate was a genius!
ReplyDeletePeanut butter fudge!? Oh YUM! And what's wrong with adding marshmallows? Love me some of that.
ReplyDeleteI've never made fudge, but I sure do like to eat it!
