I have made fudge from scratch many times, including peanut butter fudge. But I don't have a peanut butter fudge recipe on file and went looking for one. I chose this one because I wanted one made "from scratch" with no marshmallows or marshmallow cream.
I had great hopes for the fudge when I tasted the syrup stuck to the bowl after I poured it into the pans. It definitely tastes peanut buttery. But after cooling and refrigerating the fudge so it could firm up, I was disappointed. It did not firm up fully and does not have the creamy taste I was hoping for.
I use a top quality digital thermometer that I trust.
I will not make this fudge again and will look for another peanut butter fudge recipe.
