I have fond memories from Childhood about making pb fudge with my dad at Christmas but I've tried a zillion recipies and none of them tasted quite like my dad's. then I found this one. there are a few differences b/c my dad used to use canned milk and make it in an electric skillet but when I made this one, it tasted ALMOST as good as Dad's. It was GREAT! Try it you won't be sorry. But you have to get the milk/sugar mixture the right consistancy so be careful!

2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 stick margarine
pinch of salt
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix sugar, milk, margarine and salt in a saucepan. Boil, stirring frequently, until it forms a soft ball in cold water. Remove from stove and add peanut butter and vanilla. Beat until creamy and pour into buttered 9x9 pan. Let cool before cutting.

*If you want chocolate peanut butter fudge, add 1 heaping teaspoons of cocoa to the top four ingredient before cooking.

Mm..that sounds wonderful!  Peanut butter fudge brings back memories for me too.  My grandma used to make it every Christmas, and everytime I have it, it reminds me of her.  I'll have to test this out and see if it's as good as hers was - thanks!  :)

yummy!!! i love PB fudge!! I might have to try this one!!

OMG that sounds amazing!!!! Lol thanks for the recipe!

 sounds great. thanks.

I made this yesterday and it was wonderful!! and pretty easy..it was my first time making fudge so that was a good thing!

 I have a recipe (or website rather) that makes fudge from condensed milk...sounds kind of like the canned milk that your dad used for fudge.

 It's delicious and you can change the chips for whatever kind you may like.  I usually make a double batch and layer peant butter on chocolate!
