Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge-using an old fashioned recipe

I love cookbooks. Especially ones with pictures. And ones about chocolate.

One of my favorite books is “Forrest Gump-My Favorite Chocolate recipes” Life is like a box of Chocolates. I haven’t found a recipe in this book I don’t love. And I’ve tried most of them.

Maybe I’m a little partial to the movie too. I don’t think Tom Hanks knows how to make a bad movie.

“Run Forrest, Run!”

Sorry, I had to say it.

I used to make peanut butter fudge using chocolate chips and peanut butter chips until I got this book. Now I only make it with this recipe. I have made a few adjustments over the years but this is still one of the best fudge recipes I’ve ever used.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup peanut butter

Instructions

1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and add milk and vanilla.
2. Sift sugar, cocoa and salt together.
3. Gradually add sugar mixture to milk mixture stirring until blended.
4. Stir in peanut butter. I try to leave a few streaks of peanut butter showing but you can stir it completely in if you want.
5. Press mixture into buttered 8-inch square pan. I line my pan with parchment for easy removal.
6. Cover and chill. Cut into squares. Keep refrigerated.
