Yummy! Made this just as the recipe states. Used a jar of crunchy Marantha natural peanut butter and it worked very well. I can't help using a candy thermometer, and was pleasantly surprised when the mixture reached 234 degrees in almost exactly 4 minutes! Overcooking the mixture will give a grainy or crumbly result, so I'd encourage those of you trying this recipe for the first time NOT to overcook. This recipe uses marshmallow cream which ensures a smooth product, but it does take away a bit from a strong peanut flavor. Still, I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Yes!!! I used creamy. They came out perfect. Chunky would've worked awesome too. Reminds me of the inside of a Reeses Peanut butter cup. I think this would be awesome layered somehow with chocolate fudge on top. Or you could use this as a filling for truffles...just make into balls and dip in chocolate. But, since I"m not into making a big fuss and mess, I'm happy with the fudge as-is.

Does not have the rich dark tan appealing color and texture that I expect peanut butter fudge to have. Sets and cuts nicely. Grainy "whipped" texture, not creamy. Good thickness. Maybe should be boiled more than 4 min. More marshmallow flavor than peanut. Still satisfying if you want a sugar fix. I would not choose a recipe again, that included marshmallow in peanut butter fudge.
