I know there's a lot of you who are agape to attempt making fudge, then I want to evidence y'all, non only how easy information technology is but what each footstep of the cooking process looks like.  It literally takes about 5 minutes of cooking time for this candy.

The Cooking Process:

Height Left – Combine all ingredients except the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla in a medium pan.

Meridian Correct – Place a candy thermometer on the side of the pan, (if you're not doing the common cold water test).  Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat while constantly stirring.

Bottom Left – Cook until mixture reaches a soft ball stage, (234 degrees on a candy thermometer), if y'all're non using the h2o test, and remove from rut.

Bottom Right Immediately add the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla.

Now vanquish it with a wooden spoon until it'southward well blended and creamy and immediately spread it into a prepared dish. Note: If the candy sets upwards before you are able to spread it in the pan, you have overcooked it, and unfortunately this can't be stock-still.  It will gustatory modality proficient, but it will be dry and crumbly.  If the candy seems too sparse don't surrender on information technology.  Y'all might have undercooked it just a little.  Just shell it a little longer with the wooden spoon before spreading it into the dish.  Set information technology aside to completely absurd.  If information technology still seems too pasty or non-forming when you try to cut it into pieces, place it in the refrigerator for a while.

Beneath are a couple of pictures showing what information technology looks like to test the candy in cold h2o.

Later the mixture had cooked for about three minutes, I started testing it in the cold water…
