Aunt Jeans Peanut Butter Fudge Recipes

AUNT HANNAH'S FOOLPROOF PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE

Steps:

• Lightly butter or grease a 13x9 pan; set aside.
• Measure out peanut butter, marshmallow creme and vanilla onto a large, lightly buttered or greased plate; set aside.
• Place evaporated milk and sugar into a large heavy pot; stir until combined. Add butter or margarine and salt.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring; adjust heat until a consistent medium-boil is achieved. (You need to lower the heat if the bubbles are popping and spurting dangerously close to your hand while stirring.).
• Boil 12 minutes (more or less), stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat; quickly add remaining ingredients and beat by hand until thoroughly combined.
• Pour into prepared pan. Let cool. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Note for subsequent batches: If your batch is less firm than you'd like, increase cooking time a minute or so. If it's too firm, or becomes dry or crystal-ly when cooled, decrease cooking time or add more peanut butter.

AUNTIE JEAN'S FUDGE

Steps:

• 1. Take a heavy saucepan and add cocoa, milk and sugar. Heat on medium stir only until all mixed together and all the cocoa and sugar have disolved. Put your candy thermometer onto the side and make sure the end of it doesn't touch the bottom of the pan or you will not get a proper reading. Cook WITHOUT stirring until the candy thermometer reads soft ball stage. If you like firmer fudge cook until 238 degree. Once it reaches soft ball stage or 238 degrees remove from heat. Add cold butter and vanilla extract. DO NOT stir yet. Wait until the thermometer reads 110 degrees. Once at proper temperature stir or whip with wooden spoon until it loses its glossy sheen. Pour into a buttered pan or buttered deep dinner plate. Cut when firm usually when it is cool.
