Paula,
A friend of mine just asked me if I have a peanut butter fudge recipe and I told her I didn’t, but I Googled “peanut butter fudge” and yours is one of the top ones for blogs with a recipe. I sent her the link and she’s excited to try it and said it sounds like a recipe she used to have, but has lost. I’ll have to let you know if she tells me about the results.
I do like that it has mallow creme.

Liz, I asked my daughter-in-law who makes this recipe. Here is her answer. Hope it helps.

Hmmm….this is where it’s kind of tricky to answer, because I usually just go by how it looks, etc. As for the length of time for the sugar & milk to form a “soft ball”, I would say that the candy thermometer raises in temperature really fast at first, but then creeps up more slowly the closer you get to the “soft ball” stage. Most of the time my candy thermometer will stay at the almost soft ball stage (just a few degrees away) for 10 minutes or so, then will all of a sudden move to “soft ball.” If someone is making this recipe for the first time the most common mistake is taking the pan off the stove too soon before it gets to “soft ball.” Sometimes even after the temperature gets to “soft ball” I wait about 5-10 seconds to take the pan off the stove just to make sure the ingredients really got to temperature. So not sure on the exact time frame all of this occurs…probably depends on too many factors (stove type, pan type, temperature of stove, etc). I just know that I usually can make an entire recipe in no longer than 30 minutes from start to finish.

As for the temperature of the stove, I usually start out on med-high heat while I’m mixing all of the ingredients together to boiling. Then when it starts to boil, I decrease the temperture to medium for most of the time until it reaches “soft ball.”

Kind of hard to explain, but hope this helps clarify. It’s one of those homemade recipes that I just know it when I see it.

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!
