It’s officially peanut butter baking day here at Macaroni & Cheesecake. I came across this recipe for Peanut Butter Fudge on Dinner & Dessert and was intrigued because it didn’t use a candy thermometer and looked so creamy and delicious. I decided to make it for my Christmas baskets, and I am so glad that I did! This fudge came together so easily and just melts in your mouth. I will be making this over and over again!
One funny story about making this fudge…I overlooked the fact that this recipe needed evaporated milk when making my grocery list. Thankfully I had a can in my pantry. Well I opened it and it was a light brown color. This gave me serious pause, and I looked at the expiration date-May 2008. So I immediately poured it out and called my husband. He, yet again, came to my rescue and ran to the store on his way home to get a fresh can.
