Peanut Butter Fudge Candy

Todays recipe is taking me all the way back to my childhood.. which keeps feeling further and further away! This is something my mom would make my sisters and I when we were little. These quickly became my absolute favorite thing that she would make for us as a little treat! It was actually called peanut butter fudge, but it is much more of a Candy to me then Fudge so I am calling it peanut butter fudge candy!

I remeber asking my mom if she would make this often as a child. As I got older and was learning to cook on my own, she would ask me to try and make it myslef. So I did… and I failed over and over and over again! This was just because patience was not something I had back then!

Now that I have three kids of my own, I have alot more patience! I can see why my mom had plenty of it! 🙂 This is not something thats hard to make, but as a candy it needs to reach the perfect temp! Candy should be 235 degrees or resemble a soft ball when dripped into a glass of cool water.

This should look something like this…

Needless to say, I did finally take my time and was able to make the most perfect, melt in your mouth,Peanut Butter fudge candy that was worth the wait!

Let me know if you enjoy this Peanut Butter Candy as much as we did growing up! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments below!
