Welcome to WBF


Whenever Greg and I walk by a place that sells fudge, he always zones in on the peanut butter fudge. Not just chocolate fudge or any of the other kinds ~ the peanut butter fudge. I figured it was because he really liked peanut butter, though I couldn’t remember him picking up the stuff from the grocery store.

Now, I TOTALLY understand.

Some of the office employees wanted fudge. I sent an email to Mom (Mother-in-Law) and Madelyn. Mom sent back a recipe, saying she’s made this recipe for Peanut Butter Fudge many times. Then Madelyn mentioned how they used to make this as kids. When I told Greg about the recipe, he said, “That was my grandmother’s recipe. Your coworkers are in for a real treat!”

If you like to cook fudge – you MUST try this.

As Greg said, “Welcome to WBF – World’s Best Fudge!”

WBF – Peanut Butter Fudge

Ingredients:

3 Cups Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa
1 ½ cups evaporated milk
2 tablespoons peanut butter
½ stick of butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups broken pecan pieces















Directions:

Mix well three cups of sugar and 2 rounded tablespoons of cocoa.

Gradually add 1 ½ cups evaporated milk.

Begin cooking on medium fire, stirring constantly

Put cool tap water in a separate bowl. Every now and then, drip some of the mixture into the water bowl. Once it sticks together, then it’s ready to add the peanut butter.

Add 2 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter and drop in ½ block butter (cut into pieces)

Move pot to cool burner. When bottom of pot is lukewarm, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and stir until well blended. (Greg said not to add in the vanilla too soon otherwise it will cook it and make it bitter. I asked if the vanilla was even necessary, because it was already VERY tasty. He said, “Yes, it will send you over the edge!”)

At this point, you can add 2 cups of broken pecans and pour into the buttered dish. But we poured it into the dish and then sprinkled the pecans pieces on top.

Cool and cut into squares. It is O M G good! I mean this ~ I have NEVER tasted Peanut Butter Fudge this good. In fact, it makes me never want to eat it from a store again. Nothing could top this recipe!


Thank you, Mom for sharing the recipe. Thank you, Grandma Madeline for making it a tradition. Thank you, Greg, for cooking with me when I was feeling tired at the end of a busy work day. Have I told you lately How Much I Love You?
