How To Make ruth’s peanut butter fudge
-
Step 1Bring sugar, evaporated milk & butter to a boil. The original recipe says about 5 minutes, however I ALWAYS use a candy thermometer!! 240 is the magic number… soft ball stage -
Step 2Once you reach 240 degrees, remove from heat & add vanilla.
-
Step 3Stir in marshmallow cream. It takes a minute to all come together… then add peanut butter chips. Stir until everything is melted & combined.
-
Step 4Pour into 9x13 glass dish that has been lined in parchment paper.
-
Step 5I have found putting dish in the fridge for about an hour allows it to set, but not get too cold…. This is best! Makes the fudge amazing! Cut into small bite size pieces & ENJOY!
