Peanut Butter Fudge

Although I don't remember it, when I was younger, my Mema would make fudge for all of the grandchildren when we watched the Wizard of Oz.  I've watched it twice in the past few days and decided to make a batch of fudge in honor of her.  I had never made fudge before so this was all new to me.  I was somehow thinking the oven was involved but I was wrong.  Fudge is all about melting sugar, butter and milk and adding all the right ingredients at the right time. 

I found out from my aunt Cynde that Mema used the recipe on the back of the Kraft Marshmellow Fluff jar.  I used this recipe but modified it some since I didn't read the ingredients completely and didn't have enough chocolate.  I added probably 3 heaping tablespoons (maybe more....I love peanut butter) to my batch and once everything was mixed well, I poured it into a pan and waited for it to set.  And waited.  And waited.  And waited.  Apparently, too much peanut butter isn't always a good thing!  Seems my peanut butter obsession made my fudge a little gooey.  No worries though.  I just popped the pan in the fridge and by morning they were set and ready for eating.  For my first try, I think they taste really good.  I just have to figure out how to balance the peanut butter so they won't be too gooey.
