Peanut Butter Fudge
What better way to celebrate National Peanut Butter Fudge Day then with Peanut Butter Fudge.
I have used crunchy peanut butter for this fudge, you can of course use smooth peanut butter, I like to added texture the crunchy peanut butter gives.
With fudge making it is important to use a cooking thermometer to achieve the correct temperature and uninterrupted time during the boiling and stirring process is also essential.
This gets really hot so take care at all times!
