The fudge tastes great but the directions are flawed. 1. You need to make sure you cook it until the sugar is dissolved. To state "Cook to full boil for one minute, no longer" is in correct. However, if you cook it too long it will become hard and crumbly. 2. It is best NOT to use peanut butter labeled as "natural" as it may give you a bit of a grainy texture. 3. Put it in an 8" x 8" square pan. That is the size of a "Pyrex dish."

Easy, easy!! I've never made fudge before and this was my first attempt.I followed the recipe to a T and it turned out perfectly. At first, it seamed like the mixture was too liquidy and I wasn't sure if it was going to set but it did- yeah! After the fudge had set, I cut into 1" squares and coated in chocolate. Then, I topped each fudge square with nuts, mini M&Ms and sprinkles. I packaged them up in boxes and they look just like the ads from Hickory Farms. Thanks for the good post!

It's not that the fudge tasted bad but it was very gritty. The flavor was very peanuty and it was easy to make. Update: I'm leaving my original review here just in case someone else has the same problem. Much better second time around and it hasn't even cooled yet. What I think made the difference is that I tested the sugar/water mixture when it was "done" to make sure it was not gritty and the fudge came out nice and smooth. eHelen... Thanks for the zmails to get this figured out.
