National Peanut Butter Fudge Day

I’ve always been a huge fan of peanut butter fudge, so when I saw this day was coming up when I started this project, I couldn’t wait to celebrate it! Today I decided to try my hand at making peanut butter fudge myself! Im actually really impressed with how it turned out, which is really dangerous because now I can eat it whenever I want.

The recipe I used was: http://www.jif.com/Recipes/Details/142

The recipe was simple, it uses only a few ingredients: Sugar, evaporated milk, butter, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff and vanilla. I started out with the sugar, butter and evaporated milk, brought it to a boil and then let it simmer while I stirred for 5 minutes.

After that, I added in the peanut butter, stirred it until it was mixed in well. Then I stirred in the marshmallow fluff and vanilla (this is where it started to get thick so the stirring got pretty tough!) Then all I had to do was pour it into a 9X13 pan and let it cool!

Of course I had to taste the fudge before it was even cool yet. Licking the spoon seemed necessary!

I decided since that made roughly 3 pounds of fudge and I definitely don’t need to eat that much, that I would bring some to my Advanced Logo Design class tonight!

Overall I would call this day a success!!

Tomorrow I celebrate….. well I’m not really sure which one to do yet, so it will be a surprise! You’ll have to check back in to see!
