peanut butter fudge

Recipe by

This is a recipe my mother used and her mother before her. You can use a candy thermometer or just test your candy mix in a cup of cold water if you are familiar with that method. I grew up with the cold cup method however since this is usually something I only make at holiday time, I use a candy thermometer on the first batch of the year.
