Momma always made peanut butter fudge. After your last video I have done made 2 batches of mommas fudge...lol. My recipe is the same basically as Loretta Lynn's but I use 2 cups of sugar and 3 tablespoons of cocoa. Also I use 1/2 cup of milk instead of water. Momma would use water too but if we had milk she would use it. My mom was a coalminers daughter too and I miss her everyday. God bless

[@sharonlalli1414]

I was just wondering about subbing the water. Going to try it. Thanks for info.

[@catherineengle4196]

@@sharonlalli1414 In my recipe I put the milk, sugar and cocoa in saucepan on med heat whisk it a little to break down the sugar. In a big mixing bowl I have my 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 1 stick of butter and 1 cup of peanut butter. My sugar mix on the stove I stir bringing to a boil and get it to softball stage. When the sugar mix is ready I pour it over the peanut butter, butter and vanilla in my mixing bowl. The heat and the hand mixing melts the butter and peanut butter into the hot sugar mixture. I will stir everything by hand until it cools down and it will start pulling away a little from the sides of my mixing bowl. It will feel a little mushy and warm but not hot when time to pour it into a buttered dish or parchment paper. Even it out in your container of choice, Let it sit and chill in the frig or outside if cold enough then cut into cubes. Enjoy...God bless

[@Lea941]

I learned in an old cookbook that when you make fudge, always lightly grease the inside of the pan so when you boil the fudge the sugar crystals wont stick to the side and get back into your fudge that will cause the fudge to be grainy . It works every time.

[@beaglemama7928]

Thank you for sharing that😘

[@virginiahartman4533]

What if you don’t have a candy thermometer how do you know when is the soft ball atage

[@brendasimmons9045]

Drop a small amount of the fudge into a cup of very cold water and if you can form a small-ball your fudge is at the soft ball stage

I would love to hear Mr Brown read the Christmas story from Luke. Hope you both have a wonderful Christmas 🎄⛄.

[@emma__cc]

“as soon as the water comes up to a bowl”, I was thinking how the water had to come up to a bowl?! Got it later 🤦🏻‍♀️, the accent of the area probably is that way of saying “boil” that sounds like a “bowl”. For us Europeans, where English isn’t our native language, is difficult at first to get the words right of what it really meant. Got it now.👌🏼🤗

[@barbaramiller349]

Looks like my momma’s fudge. She made the best fudges. I loved her divinity fudge the best. We only got a couple of pieces, each Christmas. It was a special treat. I miss those times so very much.

I grew up on this fudge and it’s The Best!! The only fudge I’ll eat!! When I was little, one of my favorite memories is having this fudge along with popcorn while watching Rudolph, Frosty, and Charlie Brown Christmas!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@maryannedeering1663]

Mom would go with the ladies to church and sing Christmas Carol's 🎄 and dad would stay with us 3 kids and watch all the programs you mentioned along with hot chocolate and popcorn 🍿 fondest memories ever. Thankyou for bringing that precious memory back to memory 💖

[@tam2771]

So happy to see you. Missed you and you videos and kindness💞

[@lindawulfkoenig4907]

I love that you are not in a hurry when you cut the fudge; that you give it the respect it is due after the magic of its alchemy by cutting it thoughtfully, and by placing every piece gently on the serving plate. I always feel like I have to hurry in the kitchen, and it makes for nothing but stress and a haphazard process. Thank you for being such a good teacher and making me see cooking and baking as an honor not only to the people it is intended for, but to the food itself, and ultimately to our Creator.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

This is the same recipe that mamaw always made. She lived close to Ms Loretta in Kentucky. They were close friends. Wonderful memories you brought back. Love ya Miss Lori.

[@RainyJo715]

Yum, looks delicious!!!! My Grandma always made peanut butter fudge, and we had relatives helping when she passed, because we were all so beyond devastated, and coincidentally her recipes came up missing! Such a bummer, because she’s the reason that I was baking my own bread and making my own homemade noodles at the age of 18, when I first moved out. I wanted my family to eat like the food I had grown up on. I pretty much have everything mostly figured out, or close, but those recipes would have been such a treasure, especially that fudge recipe!! 🙏🏼

[@kmcd1386]

This was my Dad's favorite candy and you couldn't make it unless he was gone to town because he would "hover' in the kitchen until it was poured into the pan. It tastes so right when made with water. Mr. Brown, could you do a video on how to trot-line or throw line for fish in cold weather? A lot of folks don't know about deep water fishing with a trot line in the winter. Looking forward to you Bible study. Thank you

Love the music when your a stirring it up I had ta jump up and do a jig along with it! 😆

[@wadessirenvideos6750]

My mother told me recently that the fudge she likes best does not have marshmallows in it. She was a country girl who, like you, Mr Brown, and Loretta Lynn, learned about being creative and resourceful with limited ingredients for cooking and baking. Lori, I like your style in the old fashioned way of cooking; it's a great reminder and encouragement to others to remember how things used to be, and how the younger generations should be reminded that there are better things to life than just playing video games, watching disgusting and disturbing videos online, and being disrespectful of their elders. Mother taught me to keep an open mind, say PLEASE and THANK YOU, and BE HONEST. My mom could talk with you and Mr Brown and would like every minute of it; so would I. Wish I could reach into my computer monitor and have one of those peanut butter fudge bars right off that plate.

My mother grew up not far from Loretta but in Grundy Virginia and I think this is the fudge that she asked me to make for her.

It looks delicious and I do love peanut butter fudge but not crazy about it when it's made with that marshmallow stuff.

[@podunkpretties]

Miss Lori, this Christmas my family is going to be so happy I found you. You have all the old recipes. I can't thank you enough. If you could make grannies homemade banana pudding my dad would probably come to your house and kiss your cheek. I've been trying for 10 yrs to recreate her pudding. No pudding mixes, 100% from scratch. Most of the time she even churned the butter. However she did use Nilla Wafers as she got older. But at one time she would make the cookies. I've come close to hers but something is missing. I told dad it might be her love or spit😂 that makes the difference. She never used a recipe she just dumped and it everything came out the same every time, delicious! Love the stirring music, gave me a good chuckle! 🤣 Have a blessed day!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

If it's the warm pudding. Baked with meringue, yes, Mr. Brown sugar favorite!

[@podunkpretties]

Nope, it wasn't warm and no meringue. But maybe the ingredients to the pudding is the key. She told me how to make it before she passed. But I was young and stubborn. The talk of a dab of this , and a good amount of that, never made to my ears let alone to a piece of paper. I wish I had paid more attention to the wise ole gal. Now I cook like she did, a little dab of this and a tad bit more if it doesn't look right.😁
