Peanut Butter Fudge

"A favorite treat of mine. It is a bit tricky for inexperienced cooks as every stage has different consistencies that are recognized from making these often. It is well worth the effort and practice. I have put what it should resemble, as you go through the steps, in brackets."

  1. First off, this fudge does taste wonderful. However, the consistency leaves something to be desired. It came together looking a bit like cookie dough and stayed that way after it cooled. Very very crumbly. I have been making fudge for several years and have never had it turn out the consistency that this did. Probably will not make again.
     
  2. Made for Newest Zaar Tag this fudge was unmistakably about peanut butter! Very rich, and oh-so-creamy smoothe. Real easy to make. A tad too rich/sweet for my taste buds, but sure to please those who like a real peanut butter-tasting fudge. Thanks, Pink Diamond, for posting. I enjoyed making this fudge.
