CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE

Steps:

• Butter one 9x9 inch pan.
• Combine the sugar, evaporated milk and cocoa in saucepan. Stir over high heat until mixture comes to a rolling boil. Lower heat to medium and continue cooking to a soft ball stage.
• Remove from heat, add peanut butter and margarine. Beat by hand until creamy; pour into prepared pan. Allow to cool and cut into squares.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CHIP FUDGE

Steps:

• LINE 8- or 9-inch square pan with wax paper, extending paper over edges of pan.
• MELT chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla in heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently.
• REMOVE from heat. Add peanut butter chips; stir just to distribute chips throughout mixture. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
• CHILL 2 hours or until firm. Remove from pan by lifting edges of wax paper. Cut into squares.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with foil, pressing it into the corners and up the sides; leave an overhang on 2 sides. Brush the foil with butter.
• Combine 3/4 cup condensed milk, the chocolate chips and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Combine the remaining condensed milk, the peanut butter chips and a pinch of salt in a separate saucepan. Put both pans over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chips are melted and smooth.
• Spoon the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, leaving spaces between the spoonfuls. Spoon the peanut butter mixture into the gaps. Brush an 8-inch square of parchment paper with butter and lay it directly on top of the fudge; press to flatten evenly and fill any gaps. Refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes. Lift the foil to remove the fudge from the pan and cut into 1-inch squares. Store up to 1 week in an airtight container.

CHOCOLATE BUTTER FUDGE

Steps:

• If your pecans aren't toasted, you'll want to do that first - you can do that by throwing them in a skillet with a couple tbsp butter (this is in addition to the butter needed for the fudge) and sprinkling them with brown sugar - cook them over medium heat until brown. Allow them to cool on wax paper while you make the fudge.
• Please note: if you decide not to include the pecans, consider doubling the recipe - if you don't, the fudge will only be a little over 1/2" deep.
• Grease an 8x8 pan.
• In large pot, put butter, cream, sugar, salt, and ground chocolate and over medium heat stirring frequently until boiling lightly.
• Reduce heat slightly - just enough to keep a low boil - and continue boiling for 5 minutes stirring constantly.
• After 5 minutes, remove from heat and stir in vanilla then powdered sugar (a little at a time).
• Beat until smooth (if you didn't sift your sugar - it won't go completely smooth, but will still taste great).
• Add pecans and pour into 8x8 pan.
• Cool for 30 min or until set (put it in the fridge for faster setting.
• Slice and enjoy :).
• A fun modification to the recipe is to prepare it without the pecans, allow it to set until soft, then roll into one inch balls, put them in the freezer until hard (about 30 min), and then roll them in melted white, milk or dark chocolate chips. Then allow them to set (the fridge can speed that up). The white chocolate set the best. See the picture above.

OLD-FASHIONED CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan. Set aside.
• Combine sugar, cocoa and milk in a medium saucepan. Stir to blend, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer. Do not stir again.
• Place candy thermometer in pan and cook until temperature reaches 238 degrees F(114 degrees C). If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball with your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.
• Remove from heat. Add butter or margarine and vanilla extract. Beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge loses its sheen. Do not under beat.
• Pour into prepared pan and let cool. Cut into about 60 squares.
