My daughter-in-law, Susie, found her way to Texas from the Midwest just like I did. Our recipe boxes have several recipes in common. This smooth, creamy and mellow peanut butter fudge for one. Homemade egg noodles cooked in chicken broth is another. Both our grandmas made these. And both of us enjoy sharing them with our Texas family and friends.
Susie was sick one day while staying with her grandmother while her parents were out of town. So sick, in fact, she couldn’t make it to school. But apparently not so ill that she couldn’t ” lick the pan clean of the fudge.” It was a fun day she still remembers fondly.
Speaking of memories, you can see more about Susie and Kyle and the memories they’re making with my new grandson on her blog, Rhodes of Life.
Peanut Butter Fudge
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1 cup milk (I use skim with great results)
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter (we also like crunchy)
2 cups marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
First: Cook sugar and milk in a large saucepan to soft ball. Take off heat.
Second: Working quickly, add peanut butter, marshmallow creme, and vanilla to the sugar/milk mixture in the large saucepan. Mix well.
Third: Pour into a buttered square baking dish and let cool.
Fourth: Cut into squares, store in tins to keep fresh.

SCRUMPTIOUS fudge flavor! And hooray for memories
You have an adorable little grandson. These peanut butter fudge squares look incredible!
Looks fabulous! I love PB fudge, haven’t made it in so long!
Oh so yummy. Peanut butter fudge is my favorite and I rarely make it because, I end up eat almost the entire pan myself.
Paula, Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thanks for the tribute to my Grandma, and for including a family recipe with lots of memories! I can’t see the pics because I’m at work, but it may be a blessing in disguise because if I see the fudge, I’ll start salivating and then need to eat some! I guess one of your “skinny secrets” could be to view this blog on a work computer where the pictures are not visible!
I will have to make this for Tyler, he LOVES Peanut Butter! Thanks for sharing.
I have never tried peanut butter fudge. I should because it seems fantastic! Thanks for sharing
This is one of my favorites. Allen loves it, too. I made some a couple of days ago. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
