When I was little, my brother used to make a peanut butter fudge that was really good. I found it again years ago and it was surprisingly easy to make, but I lost it. Does anyone have one to share?

I don’t really have measurements, my Hillbilly Dad showed me how to make this years ago. 3 ingredients and a little time.
In a 2 qt sauce pan, put I don’t know, somewhere between 1 and 2 cups of water. Add about twice that in sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until it is thick and syrup-like. It should coat a metal spoon nice and thick. Remove from heat, add about a jar of peanut butter. If you’ve made fudge of any kind, you’ll know the texture you’re looking for. Then pour on a buttered plate or shallow something.
It makes a lot, it’s SO GOOD, you’re going to want to eat it all yourself!:)
Hi! I make fudge for all my kids teachers at Christmas every year, and always use the following…
3 cups peanut butter chips or Chocolate or one of the many different flavors…(Chocolate-Mint chips are amazing!!!)

1 tsp vanilla
3/4 c chopped peanuts (optional)
Melt chips with milk till smooth using your favorite method. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and nuts if using.
Press into buttered pan and let set till cool.

I have 4 recipes called Peanut Butter Fudge, each one different. I will copy and paste each for you. Maybe one of these will be the one you are looking for:
Peanut Butter Fudge
2 cups sugar
2/3 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons white syrup
Pinch of salt
4 tablespoons peanut butter
Combine all ingredients except peanut butter in pan and boil without stirring until soft ball stage. Remove from heat and add peanut butter. Spread in small square pan.
Cool and cut.
Peanut Butter Fudge
1 1/2 cups maple syrup
3/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1/3 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Mix syrup and milk together in a large saucepan. Boil mixture on high heat without stirring until it reaches 238° F on a candy thermometer (soft ball stage). This will take 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Mix peanut butter, vanilla, salt and peanuts together. Beat peanut butter into cooled syrup with wooden spoon. Beat until it loses it’s gloss. Pat fudge into buttered 8 by 8 inch baking pan and smooth with spoon or your hand. Mark it into squares and let cool several hours before cutting.

3 T unsalted butter
1/2 cp heavy cream
1 3/4 cp mini marshmallows
1 1/2 cp peanut butter chips
1/2 t vanilla
Makes 24 one inch square pieces in a 9 x 5 loaf pan
Line pan with waxed or parchment paper and coat evenly with cooking spray. Combine sugar, salt, butter, cream and marshmallows in a heavy bottomed medium saucepan. Set over medium heat; cook, stirring, until butter and marshmallows are almost melted, 5 to 6 mins. Bring mixture to a boil; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add peanut butter chips and vanilla to sauce pan. Stir until chips are melted and combined. Add nuts if you like. Pour in loaf pan. Top with remaining nuts if desired. Cool fudge in pan at room temp, 3 hrs. Grip paper lift fudge out and place on cutting board. Discard paper and cut into squares. This exact recipe can be used to make chocolate fudge using semisweet chips. Optional flavorings can be 3/4 crushed peppermint sticks or 3/4 walnuts for the chocolate fudge.
Peanut Butter Fudge
3 Cups Sugar
1 Stick Butter
2/3 Cup Evaporated Milk
Mix together over medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in:
½ tsp Vanilla
28 oz jar Peanut Butter
13 oz jar Marshmallow Cream
For Chocolate Fudge: Substitute 1 ½ – 2 Cups Chocolate Chips in place of the Peanut Butter.
* It is really hard to stir the fudge while trying to add the peanut butter and marshmallow cream so I highly recommend having a helper to stir while you are trying to add those two items.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH Judy, I had almost given up on finding this old recipe I LOVED to use …. it is the best I have ever tasted ….. and just in time for the Holiday giving …….. Have a Great Christmas and 2012. Helen
Look on the Food Network site for Paula Deen’s peanut butter fudge. She uses (of all things) velveeta cheese. It is super simple!! I made it for my family they couldn’t believe that it had cheese in it!
This came from southernfoodsabout.com last December. We added peanut m&ms to the slightly cooled fudge. We decided it was a winner and will give it as gifts this year as well. (Note: m&ms may go on sale this next month, so keep an eye out)
2c granulated sugar
2/3 c milk
1c marshmallow creme
1 c peanut butter (creamy or crunchy; I would use creamy if adding m&ms)
1 tsp vanilla
Boil milk and sugar to soft ball stage. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.Pour into a buttered 8×8 pan; cut into squares when firm.
I always use the recipe on the jet puff marshmallow jar. Substituting 1 bag of peanut butter chips for the chocolate in the recipe.
