PEANUT FUDGE
Yields 9 – 12 pieces
Ingredients
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 c. of white sugar
2/3 c. unsalted dry roasted peanuts
1 tsp. vanilla essence/extract
1 tsp. margarine/spread
Tools
1 large pot
1 wooden spoon
1 cookie sheet or long casserole dish
1 sharp knife
Process
—Repeat bullets 1-4 of the fudge recipe
—After stirring your pot for approximately 15 minutes, test a drop of fudge mixture into cold water. If the mixture is solid, you may remove it from heat. If the mixture is still chewy/caramel-like, continue stirring.
—Fold in 2/3 c. of peanuts into the mixture and ensure all nuts are fully covered.
—Once removed from heat, add 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 tsp. margarine to your pot, and stir. This will help solidify the mixture.
—Quickly pour your mixture into greased cookie sheet, smoothing into corners while you pour. It is very helpful if you have another hand during this step, to ensure a smooth top layer.
—Let mixture cool 5 minutes, then score into squares of your desired size.
—After approximately 5 more minutes, fully cut your fudge into squares, and serve, or store for guests.
