Making another batch. We?ve compared many different pb fudge recipes, especially at Christmas time, this is always the WINNER! It replaced our traditional family recipe years ago.

I am sixty and have been using this recipe for more than 30 years. Before that, my mom made it every year. Not once has this recipe produced anything less than perfect fudge. We love it!

Excellent fudge. Easy to make. Doubled the ingredients, otherwise followed the recipe. Bringing it to Thanksgiving dinner. I know my family will love it.

★★☆☆☆
I followed this direction exactly and ran into problems with the cooling stage. Once it got to room temperature, no amount of beating could make it creamy again. I would probably try it again, just not let it cool as long.

Wonderful fudge! I'll be making this again. I used 1/2 cup of peanut butter (I don't have a kitchen scale) and it came out perfect!
