My friend Liz (From That Skinny Chick Can Bake) and I have this awesome monthly feature called Two Sweetie Pies. Each month, we choose a recipe from the other’s blog and feature it. We do not tell each other which recipe we are working on until reveal day which is always so exciting!
This month is extra special because it’s like hitting the Fudge Lottery. I had been on the prowl for a fudge recipe that was equivalent to the kind in the candy store. The really good kind. Lots of fudges were yummy but not like the store kind! Until Liz’s recipe came into my life. LOL, yup! Life changing! My hubby taste tested our favorite candy store fudge and this one. This was the winning fudge!!!! Goodbye candy store, hello homemade!!!

This is the recipe found on the back of the marshmallow cream jar for years. Of course, this one is simply halved and peanut butter is added to half instead of all the bag of chocolate chips. This is the only fudge we have ever made for 40 years, and my son won a prize at the NC state fair with it. It is delish. Try adding mint chips to the recipe instead of chocolate or peanut butter (and peanut better morsels are so good instead of plain peanut better), that make great chocolate mint fudge. But the recipe is called “Fantasy Fudge” and it is on the jar of Marshmallow cream.

Kitty says
My peanut butter fudge did not hardened as well as chocolate layer. What did I do wrong? It taste great but soft.

Wish I had seen your recipe first. It is similar to one I tried today and had to throw the whole thing in the trash. I hate when recipes allow for such error. Yours tells the temperature to cook the mixture to and that is what the other one did not. It said “boil 5 minutes”. It was a disaster. Thank-you for attention to details. When I get over this horrible experience I had today with the other recipe….from a cookbook author blogger no less, I will try yours.

Question both of my flavors came out more solid like a big blob, east enough to spread around but not smooth and creamy like your pictures, any thoughts? I used a candy therm to make sure the temp was right, and I tasted some as it went into the pan and it seemed a bit gritty…..did you use room temp butter? Would that make a dufference? Mine was cold ….help please!

Not sure what went wrong. I did not warm up my butter.
Louise says
Is this recipe is low carb. and low sugar?
