COCOA PEANUT
BUTTER FUDGE
3 cups granulated sugar
S tablespoons cocoa
Pinch salt
VA cups whole milk
A pound butter (frozen)
4 tablespoons creamy peanut
butter
VA teaspoon vanilla
Combine sugar, cocoa, and salt
in a heavy 4-quan saucepan. Stir in
milk.
Place over medium-high heat;
cook, stirring slowly until the mix
ture comes to a boil. Turn heat to
medium, stirring occasionally
until it reaches a temperature of
236-238 degrees or until a small
amount dropped into cold water
forms a soft but slightly firm ball.
Remove from heat and add fro
zen butter and peanut butter. Stir
slowly until the butter is almost
melted, add vanilla.
Beat immediately, using electric
mixer set at medium speed, until
the mixture is thickened and
begins to cling to the sides of the
pan, about 5 minutes.
Pour into a buttered 9-inch layer
cake pan. Let stand until cooled
completely, cut into squares.
Yields: IV* pounds.
This is a delicious fudge with an
accent of peanut butter. The
cooked mixture is beaten without
cooling—the secret: a stick of fro
zen butter.
Here we are again—the Peanut
Butter Kids. Since Daniel’s family
had the Mosemann's Peanut But
ler Company in Lancaster, peanut
butter is the main ingredient in our
candy recipes or anywhere else we
can incorporate it’s use.
We love it and ecu it, and enter
tain old friends with such morsels
as the above recipe for Cocoa Pea
nut Butter Fudge. We hope you'll
enjoy it.
