This extra work peanut butter fudge takes constant vigilance, but it is worth the effort. It's a rich, creamy, genuine recipe, without marshmallow cream or brown sugar. To make other flavors, replace peanut butter with white chocolate chips and any flavor extract of your choice.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2.5 cups white sugar
- 1 can evaporated milk , 12 fluid ounce
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
1
Coat a 9x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
-
2
Bring sugar and evaporated milk to a boil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until syrup reaches 234 degrees F (110 degrees C), 5 to 7 minutes. A teaspoon of hot syrup dropped into a glass of cold water should form a soft ball of candy.

Remove from heat; immediately stir in peanut butter, butter, and vanilla extract, stirring constantly until smooth and thick. Pour fudge into the prepared pan. Cool before slicing into squares.

Make-Ahead Slow Cooker Beef Stew
This hearty make-ahead slow cooker beef stew recipe is a family favorite. Make it fresh by browning the meat and then tossing all the ingredients in the slow cooker, or prepare it ahead for freezing and quick assembly for an easy slow cooker meal when you need it! I like to make fresh stew, but double the ingredients and freeze the second portion for a quick dose of comfort food mid-week. Serve it with fresh bread and a salad.
