Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Fudge
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 TBSP cocoa powder
- 2 TBSP butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Butter an 8 x 8 glass baking dish and set aside.
- In a medium or large pot, add sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and milk.
- Cook on low to medium heat while stirring constantly. Once the mixture comes to a boil use a candy thermometer and watch the temperature. As soon as it approaches a soft ball stage remove it from the heat.
- Soft ball stage is 235-240 degrees F. So once the mixture gets to about 234 degrees I will remove it from the heat because overcooking this fudge will ruin it.
- Once you remove the fudge mixture from the heat then quickly add in the peanut butter and continue stirring until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Once the fudge mixture is smooth pour it into your buttered dish and let it cool. It should be firm enough to cut and serve within 10 minutes.
