Grandpa’s Peanut Butter Fudge

This is my grandpa’s famous family recipe that he guarded almost all my life, but it’s such a good treat I had to share it! Makes a great gift for friends, your kid’s teacher, co-workers, or anyone really!

Original recipe makes 36 1-inch squares

Ingredients

2 cups brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon margarine
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Mix brown and white sugar with the milk in large pot; bring mixture to a boil. Stir in peanut butter, reduce heat to medium, and bring the mixture back to boil (stirring constantly). Remove the pot from heat when a drop of the mixture forms a ball in a glass of cold water.
  2. Stir margarine and vanilla into the mixture; stir vigorously until the fudge hardens. (Always stir in same direction.) Pour fudge onto buttered plates or waxed paper. Let cool and cut into 1-inch pieces.
