Chocolate & Peanut Butter Fudge

Sue Lau's Note:

This is so good. Sometimes I press roasted peanuts into the soft fudge before it sets to give it that extra "Oomph".

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 48 pieces

• 1 cup peanut butter morsels
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsel
• 2 ¼ cups sugar

• ¾ cup evaporated milk
• ¼ cup butter or ¼ cup margarine
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Place peanut butter morsels in one bowl, and chocolate ones in another, and set aside.
2. Butter an 8" square baking pan and set aside.
3. Combine sugar, marshmallow creme, evaporated milk, and butter in a heavy saucepan.
4. Bring to a boil over medium heat; stirring constantly, continue cooking and stirring for 5 minutes.
5. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla.
6. Quickly stir half of the hot mixture into the peanut butte morsels until they are completely melted, and pour into the prepared 8" square pan, smoothing out the top.
7. Stir the remaining mixture into the chocolate morsels, and stir until completely melted.
8. Pour this mixture over the peanut butter fudge layer, spreading evenly.
9. Cool fudge completely before cutting into 1" squares.

This was easy to make. But, both the chocolate layer and the PB layer were rather bland. I followed the recipe. It didn't taste bad, just not very flavorful. If I make it again I will up both the choc. and PB chips.

This is very good fudge and easy to make. I added it to my dessert menu for a Christmas party and everyone loved it. I like how it has the two layers. I sometimes mess up fudge, but followed these instructions perfectly and it turned out just the right consistency.
