Reviews
Mine came out a bit hard. Still delicious though.
I give it 3 stars but mine came out like soup! I’m not sure what I did wrong, I will have to try it again!
Very tasty. I think it’s a little on the soft side when at room temp.
I used unsalted butter and everything else exactly. It was super- – tasty! Thanks for this quick recipe…
So easy and I get my son to say ” My mom makes the best fudge in the world” that’s all I need to hear to know this recipe is top notch
Very easy and very good. I only let it boil for 8 min. And it turned out perfect.
My family has had this recipe since I was a child. You need to boil it for 8 minutes exactly and it will be perfect!! I am 70 and have used this recipe for 50 yrs now.
Super tasty! This is a lighter texture than other recipes I’ve made recently but my family absolutely LOVED IT!! I gotta stay away from it tho. Danger zone for anyone dieting! Thanks for the recipe!
It was delicious but definitely do not boil for as long so milk doesn’t separate and make the fudge crumbly. Also drizzle with chocolate!
My phone sent my review before I finished, so look for rest below. I changed a few things but not the ingredients. I let it boil for 11 mins instead of ten minutes. I turn the burner down to the lowest temperature possible. I then add Peanut Butter and Marshmallow. Stir till it’s all blended then turn off stove and pour into dish. If you turn it off right away it cools down too fast and it breaks while cutting it. I use a glass dish instead of metal. I spray the whole inside with cooking spray. The sliced pieces are prettier & fudge cools more evenly. After pouring in dish. I put plastic wrap over it set it in refrigerator till it’s cold. Take out & let it warm to room temp. Turn over onto cutting board then give it a good thump and it pops right out. Gently turn over, cut and store in cool place. I like my fudge firm yet soft like fudge is suppose to be. My dad has no teeth and he has no problem eatting it because it breaks off easily & melts in your mouth. Enjoy.
It taste great but is too soft. I boiled and stirred for 10 minutes. Didn’t test consistency though.
This recipe was so easy to make and super tasty!
I made a few little adjustments to the recipe and it turned out awesomex10. When I read ingredients I thought that maybe there might just be a little too much sugar so I only put 3 1/3 c of sugar and then I added a little coffee cream, about 3 tbsp. Boiled it for 10 minutes but kept a close eye on it and tested it in cold water to see if it was forming a soft ball. Did not find it grainy, it was smooth and I also drizzled some 85% cocoa lindt chocolate on top. Sprayed a glass baking pan with cooking spray and was able to cut fudge out of it with ease. Thank you Teresa for the recipe and my famiy thanks you as well. Totally delicious!!!
I made the most perfect peanut butter fudge fudge and the best tasting! I am sorry but I have to brag!! It is perfect!
Followed recipe and it turned out perfect. Wasn’t dry, very smooth and moist. Family loved it. This my go to recipe. Easy to make! Thanks for te great recipe.
Very easy to make. I did however, add and extra 1/2 cup of peanut butter. It came out great. I gave the fudge away in care packages for Christmas. Everyone raved about it! Highly recommended!!!
it was not a creamy, smooth fudge. was hard and crumbly
This came out great! I did it a bit differently than the recipe tho. I used 1/2 white and 1/2 brown sugar, and I added the marshmallow along with the sugar, butter and milk to cook together. I think it makes the fudge smoother. Also, I always cook to the soft ball stage when making fudge like my Nana taught me. Time and candy thermometers aren’t as reliable. Delicious flavor!!! I will make it again!
This fudge was really good! I do agree with other reviewers that I should have cooked it for less time as mine was a bit flaky.
The absolute best peanut butter fudge recipe out there. It’s so smooth and creamy! Absolutely delicious. There are some comments about the cook time being too long…but it’s not. If you keep the mixture boiling at a soft boil (same as you would for any other type of candy) for 10 min it’s perfect.
I found the recipe to be exactly like one a dear Sister-in-law used to make. The only thing I changed was the cooking time. I cut it from 10 minutes down to 7 minutes. It turned out just right. Bessie from Alaska
