Family Recipes Along the Way

There are a lot of peanut butter fudge recipes out there but this is one that has been our family's favorite.  Mom made this every year at Christmas and we think its the best! 1 stick butter 1 can Pet milk 3 1/2 cups of sugar A small jar of peanut butter 7 oz. jar of marshmallow cream Put peanut butter, peanut butter chips, and marshmallow cream in a large bowl. Combine butter, Pet milk, and sugar in a large pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.  Pour hot ingredients over the peanut butter mixture and stir well.  Pour into a greased 13 x 9 inch pan and store in the refrigerator.

What can you say ... caramel, pecans, and sweet creamy filling.  What's not to love??  As far back as I can remember my mother made these every year at Christmas.  Its just not "Christmas" without them. 1/3 cup soft butter 1/3 cup light corn syrup 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 pound box confections sugar Carmels Pecans Fondant Center: Blend butter, syrup, salt and vanilla until creamy.  Mix in all of confections sugar.  Mix well.  Turn onto counter and knead with hands until smooth.  Divide into rolls and store in cool place covered with a damp cloth.  Let sit several hours. Melt 1 lb. carmels and 2 tablespoons of milk and stir till smooth.  Spoon melted carmel over the rolls and roll in pecans.  Chill.  Mom (Judy) always made these at Christmas.  Yummmm!!
