Fudge

I made fudge (peanut butter and traditional) to give away as Christmas gifts this year. The traditional one I make every year. However, this year I found a recipe for peanut butter fudge and wanted to give it a try. I am glad that I did. Quite yummy!

Killer Crack Peanut Butter Fudge

3 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 cup JIF peanut butter
1- 7 oz jar marshmallow creme
1 tsp vanilla

Combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk in a heavy 2-1/2 quart saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat. Add the peanut butter, stirring until melted.. Add marshmallow creme and vanilla; beat until well blended.Spread in a buttered 9 x 13 x 2 - inch pan. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate. Cut into squares when firm.

Fudge

3 6 oz. bags of semi-sweet chocolate chips
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
pinch of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I never use nuts)

Melt chocolate chips and condensed milk. Mix in remaining ingredients. Pour in 8 inch square pan lined with waxed paper. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. Cut into squares. Keep covered in an air tight container.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
