Peanut Butter Fudge
Butter, sugar, marshmallow cream, peanut butter, and a few more ingredients make a fabulous fudge that is perfect for the Holidays!
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup half & half
- 4 tbsp corn syrup
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup marshmallow cream
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup salted cocktail peanuts
Instructions
- Over low/medium heat add the first four ingredients to a large saucepan.
- Whisk the ingredients until the sugar has melted and everything is combined. Allow mixture to come to a low simmer. Using a spatula scrape the sugar down from the sides of the pan.
- Place a candy thermometer into the saucepan. Allow sugar mixture to simmer until it reaches soft ball stage- which is 235 degrees.
- Remove pan from the heat and set the thermometer aside.
- Stir in the final four ingredients and 1/2 cup of the peanuts until completely melted and combined.
- Pour into a buttered 9-inch baking pan and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of peanuts over the top, pressing down slightly. ** I line the pan with parchment paper to make removal easier!
- Allow to set up for 2-3 hours or overnight. Place the fudge in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to make slicing into squares easier!
