GRANNY'S OLD FASHIONED PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE - RECIPE INCLUDED

[@pamchambers7632]

Words can not explain what this vedio did for me. My mom made this exact fudge for me as I grew up. Birthdays and Christmas only. It was such a treat. But she showed me one time how to make but to be honest I did not pay close enough attention. Then she suffered a stroke and passed. As I watched this vedio it was like I was watching her. You did everything just the way she did. Even the wooden spoon. When I seen the finished fudge I said is there anyway...well I watched the vedio 3 times and cried. Then tried it. IT IS MY MOMS FUDGE. My kids took a bit and began crying too. They are teenagers and remember it. Thanks to you we will have fudge for Christmas again. And just in time. True Christmas miracle. Also my mom said little is much when God is in it ALL the time. That just showed me God was in it. This vedio made my whole Christmas. It is a priceless gift for our family. Words can never say how much we Thankyou.

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Thank you for sharing your story with me. It is a privilege for me to be used by the Lord to bring you your Christmas Miracle. He knows what we need just when we need it most and He is always on time. I love you and wish you and your family a Happy Christmas filled with all good things. Yes, truly, “Little is much when God is in it.”

THIS IS A WINNER!! I made this peanut butter fudge for our family Christmas celebration. I have an accurate Thermapen thermometer. If you heat the mixture to 234 degrees then add the butter and vanilla to help stop the cooking (and immediately stir in the peanut butter), you will get perfect fudge every time. I like the fact that you can pour it hot into a buttered glass pyrex right after you stir in the peanut butter without cooling it. Some chocolate fudge recipes require the mixture to be cooled to 120 degrees and then beat the mixture. This is definitely easier. I used a generous cup of peanut butter, and three tablespoons of Watkins vanilla. Bon Appetit!!

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Randy Volkert that’s terrific! Thanks for letting me know. I’m so happy you and your family enjoyed it. A batch of this fudge also makes a great gift. Thanks again. Merry Christmas and God Bless you and your family.

[@janetking4829]

I remember my mom doing that with a mixture , so enjoyed watching this presentation and I might give this a try . , I feel that wonderful time of year feeling when winter is setting in, and Family lays on my memories of my momma remembering the art of making fudge this way . Pretty awesome Grandma . 👵

[@nathanking3242]

I was told between 237 and 239, and yes it's perfect. Get you a digital food thermometer. Our fudge became softball at 238 degrees. Perfect ever time. Thank you for posting this.

[@beckybailey1285]

This reciepe sounds amazing. Can't wait to try it. Will let you know how it turns out for me . Thanks for sharing the reciepe. Thus will be perfect for the holidays.... especially Christmas

[@VLAlexander-h3b]

My Grandma raised her kids in the depression. When we came along she was still making this. This is the same as her recipe (she used canned milk but I don't usually have that on hand so I use regular whole milk) and I turn this on when I make it and do it with you. *She did the ice in the water just like you to keep checking for the softball stage - this is how I teach my kids too! I miss my Grandma and doing it with you triggers such wonderful memories! Thank you Robin!

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Thank you so much! I so appreciate your sharing your precious memories with me. You are blessed with memories of a wonderful Grandma. You are so sweet to include me in making the fudge, thank you. I am deeply touched. God bless you in all your ways.

[@kristymh823]

This is it! For years my sister and I have been trying to replicate my mom’s peanut butter fudge. 75,857,578 batches/recipes later I found you (slight exaggeration)! Thank you for making this the most amazing Christmas gift I will be able to give to my sister. I can’t wait till she tastes it tonight!

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Oh Kristy I’m so happy you found me too. That’s a lot of batches lol. You and your sister are persistent. I hope you enjoy the fudge for years to come.

I made that many batches of peanut brittle. No good ones. Finally my 80 year old friend wouldn't even let me look at peanut brittle she was making. Lol

[@beckystill273]

My mom passed away in August this year and she always made peanut butter fudge. I didn't think I would ever be able to make it myself with her gone until I ran across your video. I was very surprised and happy to see that you make your fudge exactly the way she did. Once I saw your cold water and heard you say "soft ball " I knew it was like mom's. Thank you for sharing your video and giving me the complete directions that mom isn't here too. I'm very great full. God bless you. Becky Still

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Becky Still thank you Becky I am very touched by your comment. ❤️ I am sorry for your loss I know how difficult losing your loved ones can be. Food reminds us of so many good things in our life especially the person who made it for us. Give it a try and tell me what you think. I know you will have success. God bless and thanks so much.

[@JudiChristopher]

I felt the exactly the same... I thought I had lost my grandmother's receipt too... This is so good..

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

[@lydiafrancis5222]

I read your story and you have my condolences. My Mommie past in May. All of the videos I've seen were all wrong and I too came across this one. I knew it was my moms when she added the ice water...Start praying now Becky we are about to embark on the worst day of our lives once again. The year mark of our Mothers leaving. I am sorry if I should not have replied on your post but it just touches me. :(

[@susancaroline927]

Isn’t it wonderful to come across something that brings back a special, enjoyable memory with a loved one we’ve lost. I find that it makes that memory even more special. My grandma died in 1996 and I still come across recipes that bring back those wonderful, happy memories. I’m glad you’ve gotten that here. It’s always really special for me when that happens. Enjoy that beautiful memory. ❤️

I've searched the whole web, watched billions of videos an made just about every old fashioned recipe I've found just searching for the pb fudge I had as a kid an u had it this whole time. I just wanted my boy to taste the real fudge an now he can. I'm claiming u as my granny now. Thank u so much !

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

You are very sweet. Thank you so much. I’m glad you found what you are looking for and are able to share it with your boy. God Bless!

[@SallyD-j8f]

I just happened to see this today. I’ve made peanut butter fudge for years. My recipe is similar but in smaller amounts. I use 2 cups sugar, 2/3 cup milk and 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar. After it comes to a rolling boil, stir it constantly for 6 1/2 minutes. Test in the cold water for the soft ball stage, but the time doesn’t vary much. Take off the stove and add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter. Have these things ready before you start cooking the milk and sugar. As the peanut butter and butter are melting, add 1 tsp. of vanilla. When all melted, pour into buttered dish. You need to work fast so it doesn’t harden in the pan. Pour into a buttered glass pie plate. Yours looks great, except I don’t care for the chunky peanut butter. For many years, I have sent my brother a batch of peanut butter and chocolate fudge for his birthday and Christmas. He said my last batch was the best ever!

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us. Your brother is very blessed.

[@MagickalMe1133]

I was looking for an old fashioned fudge recipe that my dad made 60 years ago. He passed suddenly & I don't have the recipe. I've watched one peanut butter fudge recipe KZbin channel after the other. But none so far end up a drier consistency like his did. It was still creamy, just dried. Does yours when totally cooled, dry out a bit?

[@pixieboi1]

My grandma used to make this fudge for us all of the time and then she passed. I never had the recipe and missed it so much. This was the exact fudge my grandma made. I'm so happy you made this video. I just loved having you demonstrate it for me

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

shawn cottrell Thank you Shawn. That means a lot. It’s an old fashioned recipe that’s for sure and so many moms and grandmas made it for there kids and grandchildren. It’s a good memory for so many people. I hope you have many years of enjoyment and fond memories with this peanut butter fudge. I’m so glad to have helped. God Bless!

[@paulettebaker5587]

My sister use to make what we called 'cooked fudge' She made every winter so we could set outside to set. The recipe she used was on the can o f Hershey cocoa powder. It was stirring and stirring to soft ball then beat it til shinny I think. She can't beat it any longer.

Once i found this video a few years ago, it is my go to recipe. I am not sure if I have it written down as I usually follow along with her making it but definitely want to make sure I have it. I saved the video but not sure when my computer might crash and I loose it. It is the perfect mixture of all the ingredients. I have to leave some in the pot as it is too delicious to have to wait for it to cool.

[@marieweaver6894]

I make mine very similar, and don’t use a candy thermometer either. I also do the cold bath test. However, I use whole milk and a 1/2 stick of butter with the sugar. I bring to boil and the first boil the bubbles are big and loose but as it cooks and gets closer to being ready the bubbles tighten and get smaller. About 7-10 min perhaps 12 minutes...depending on the weather. Then I do a water test looking for a soft ball stage. Once I have that I turn off heat, add vanilla, stir, add peanut butter and mix. I also use parchment paper instead of a buttered pan, but 1st spray my pan with non stick cooking spray to hold parchment paper down in pan. Pour in the fudge quickly and let cool and set. When fudge has cooled and ready to cut, I lift the parchment paper and fudge completely out of the pan, making is easier to slice so no worries about messing up the first piece. I can never wait til it’s completely cooled either. Too yummy creamy good to wait.

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

It’s a beautiful process. Your fudge sounds delicious Marie.

[@Tricia1969]

I make mine the same way as you, Marie, but use two cups of sugar.

[@sandrashoemake2484]

My Mom made this recipe and it is a very good recipe. I like one other of the responders have a bad back and it is hard for me to stand that long. Have you tried the easy fudge recipe? The one I use now is 1 cup of butter, 1cup peanut butter. I tsp of vanilla and two cups confectioners sugar. I melt the butter and peanut butter in the microwave. Remove and add 1 tsp vanilla and then add two cups of confectioners sugar or one box. You then pour it into your 8x8 greased pan and I do refrigerate mine. Prep takes 5 min and ready to cut in an hour. No boiling or having to form soft balls and to me just as good. When my Mom was living and I was young, I really could care less about cooking, but now I have a love of it and she is gone now. Do you make old fashioned divinity? My Mom always made it for Christmas and for friends who lost family members who have lost loved ones. I would love to learn how to make this. Thanks for opening up your home and sharing your wonderful recipes.

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Sandra Shoemake thank you so much for your comment and your wonderful recipe. I think I will give it a try. I just always made fudge the old-fashioned way. I am not a Divinity maker however my younger brother makes Divinity every Christmas. It's really delicious. I'm sorry to hear you have a bad back I know that is tough. I have had back problems off and on myself. It's good that you are carrying on some of the traditions of your mom. It's funny how when we're young we are not very interested in certain things but when we grow older we realize the value in them. Thanks for watching and sharing and I hope you have a blessed day.

[@jadehunter7617]

I make the best Divinity you could ever taste I also have a peppermint Divinity that's really good I started with my grandmother's Divinity recipe and then revised it. Maybe I can learn how to use U-tube to show how to make Divinity turn out perfect every time whether it's winter or summer cuz a lot of people have a hard time making it work at different temperatures of the weather. Also you don't have to have professional mixer, but in the past through trial and error I have ruined a few mixers LOL

[@lyndamaxfield4257]

This is the first time my fudge has ever turned out right!!! Thank you so much

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

You are most welcome Lynda. I’m glad to have been of some help.

[@jpusey8930]

It's me again! I made this yesterday with 150g (just over a cup) of 72% dark chocolate instead of the peanut butter and it worked brilliantly. Also my family and friends love the original recipe x

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Janine Pusey that’s brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing with us. I love it. 👍

[@cordamoss2268]

Thank you so much! I have heard of the soft ball stage, but had never seen it demonstrated. What a difference in imagining vs seeing!

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

I am glad that helped.

[@GeorgiasCraftyCreations]

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Thank you Christin and to you as well.

[@conniecormier3765]

Thanks for posting! Like others, this is the recipe my Mother used but I lost it years ago. Will have to make this for my hubby...he LOVES PB fudge!

[@lauriemeetze9567]

This is the first time I've come across your channel! You are a wonderful cook! I love the way you cook the old fashioned way not needing thermometers or other gadgets to cook with! You remind me so much of my mother whom God took home 4 yrs ago! I so love the way you incorporate God and family in your blogs! You can tell your family means a lot along with the love you have for God and for them! Most people don't realize that the love you have for God an your family shows when cooking an making meals! Everyone should be thankful to be blessed, because without God we would have nothing... no family or anything else for that matter! I just wanted to say that I am so very glad I came across your blog! You are truly down to earth and you will go very far in everything you do and what you believe! ✨Blessed Always✨ Laurie💖LeStat🐈

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Thank you so much. And thank you for sharing your memories of your mother with me. I agree. We are truly blessed. God bless you and yours and thank you so much for taking the time to comment.

[@jeanniedeelstra5386]

Thank you for this in depth description. I haven't made this for many decades and couldn't find a recipe that I liked. I wanted to make this the way I remembered, ( I'm 77) and now I can. Thank you for sharing.

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

You’re very welcome Jeannie. I’m so glad to be of help. God Bless.

[@hikewithme59]

I made peanut butter fudge tonight and I was curious how other people make it. You make it the same way as I do with the softball stage. Mine is a little different, I do use canned milk as you mentioned and I do not use butter, instead I put 1/4 cup light corn syrup at the end with the peanut butter and vanilla. Thank you for your video, so glad there are people out there that still do it the old-fashioned way! Carol from Arizona 🌵✌🏼

[@teebryant3296]

[@meatdog]

I will go to the end of the world for peanutbutter fudge because it's my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. I don't like chocolate so this is for me all the way. Thank you a thousands times over because I lost my recipe and have been so sad. Now I'm HAPPY. And it has to be creamy and totally smooth, no chunky nuts. I cannot stand that fake marshmellow based fudge.😂😂🎉😂🎉❤

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Delicious!

[@RainyJo715]

Reminds me of my Grandmothers peanut butter fudge, which is a family fav. She used creamy peanut butter, and I think I will too. But thanks so much for the awesome step by step video! Yummy!! :)

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

It’s an old method that’s for sure. You’re very welcome. I appreciate ya!❤️

[@lindanave6390]

I can't wait to give this peanut butter fudge a try!! For the record I for one love it when it's still a little warm! 😋🥰

[@bradleymiller437]

Your fudge looks very respectable. Some people posting videos of what looks like molded saw dust and should be ashamed of themselves.

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

[@rickyn1135]

I loved this. This was the best demonstration and explanation of the ‘Softball’ stage I’ve ever seen. I’ll be making this for the Thanksgiving and Christmas! Thank you.

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Thanks so much. I am glad this was helpful. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas. Enjoy your fudge.😑

I made this for my 10 yr. old grandson and 8 yr. old grandaughter and they LOVED it!!! Ps. I do have a candy thermometer, but I wanted to do it “completely” the old fashioned “cold water-bath” way, exactly as you instructed; and it came out perfect!!!! Delicious 😋 thank you very much❣️👍😁 I’m definitely subscribing to your channel!!! Looking forward to seeing more great recipes/videos!!😊 Hugs and God Bless

I MAKE MINE EXACTLY THE SAME WAY,GOT THE RECEIPT FROM MY GRANDMOTHER THIS IS OLD SCHOOL WAY AND VERY GOOD.........GOOD JOB

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Thank you Vanessa.

[@snappysnap955]

Interesting pot you are using

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Diane Watson that pan belonged to my late mother in law. It also has a double boiler attachment. I like it because it has a heavy bottom.

[@MrLassylady]

Diane Watson heavy bottom pot is the best. I use my 40 year old pressure cooker pot just the pot my fudge always turned out. I thought like you did, pot is a little old looking but mine would look the same lol

[@taniaezell8898]

Just made it. It's now cooling off and my mouth is watering.

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

That's awsome!

[@jakematic]

Yum. Reminds me of making a similar chocolate fudge with my grandmother in the early 70s... wish I had her recipe. She always poured it into aluminum pie tins for reasons I never understood, but makes me think of her every time I see one. Thanks for the memories !

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Mulligan Farms you are very welcome. My mom used to make that chocolate fudge too with cocoa. Those were the days before they made chocolate fudge with marshmallow cream. I believe the recipe used to be on the Hershey‘s cocoa can. I don’t know if it still is. I think it’s not only fun but good to know how to make things the old way. Thanks for watching and as always thanks for commenting. Have a great day!

[@jakematic]

Yes with cocoa that's right. Definitely no marshmallow, and I remember it has a bit of a grainy texture as it set up. Absolutely a good idea to know the old ways. Need to start working my way through my 1956 copy of Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook. Just love the stories in it too.

[@barbhannah8440]

Love watching your video that¹ how i make it old fashioned is the best thanks for sharing be blessed and stay safe and healthy

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Thank you Barb! You take care as well.

[@jpusey8930]

Made this last night, it's amazing! I think it's more what we (in Northern Ireland) would call butter tablet. It's like a crumbly fudge, but it's oh so delicious!

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Thank you so much. I'm very glad to hear from you and doubly glad that you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks for your comment it means a lot to me.

[@janicehornback6884]

I have just made this fudge with you! OMG! At 77 years young I have never made homemade fudge. That’s hard to believe because I love to bake. I’m so happy mine came out perfectly. Thanks for the perfect step by step! ❤😊

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

You’re welcome Janice. So happy you like it. I love trying new things as well. We are never too old to give it a go. Thanks for being here.
