Aunt Hannah\u2019s Foolproof Peanut Butter Fudge

Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
• 5 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
• 1 dash salt
• 7 ounces marshmallow creme
• 14 ounces peanut butter (Jiff good quality peanut butter is a MUST)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Directions

• 1 Lightly butter or grease a 13x9 pan; set aside.
• 2 Measure out peanut butter, marshmallow creme and vanilla onto a large, lightly buttered or greased plate; set aside.
• 3 Place evaporated milk and sugar into a large heavy pot; stir until combined. Add butter or margarine and salt.
• 4 Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring; adjust heat until a consistent medium-boil is achieved. (You need to lower the heat if the bubbles are popping and spurting dangerously close to your hand while stirring.).
• 5 Boil 12 minutes (more or less), stirring constantly.
• 6 Remove from heat; quickly add remaining ingredients and beat by hand until thoroughly combined.
• 7 Pour into prepared pan. Let cool. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• 8 Note for subsequent batches: If your batch is less firm than you\u2019d like, increase cooking time a minute or so. If it\u2019s too firm, or becomes dry or crystal-ly when cooled, decrease cooking time or add more peanut butter.
