Peanut butter fudge gone wrong. Used 1 cup of sugar instead of 3. Fudge was gooey but tasty. I brain stormed with how I could make this into something I could serve and add to my holiday treats. The results are a delicious truffle that has gotten rave reviews from all who have tasted.

How To Make peanut butter truffes

Remove from heat add peanut butter. Once completely mixed add marshmallow cream. Then add tsp of vanilla. Pour into a 9x9 butter lined pan. Let stand overnight.
