I get the whole family involved with this fudge. I bake, my daughter watches the clock, my husband stirs and my son is a taste tester! —Jennifer Gilbert, Brighton, Michigan
Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge Recipe photo by Taste of Home
Coarsely chopped chocolate-covered or salted peanuts, optional
Directions
Line a 13x9-in. pan with foil; grease foil with 2 teaspoons butter.
For chocolate layer, in a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter and salt. Bring to a rapid boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 234° (soft-ball stage), about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in marshmallow creme and vanilla until blended. Stir in chocolate chips until melted. Immediately spread into prepared pan.
For peanut butter layer, in another large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter and salt. Bring to a rapid boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 234° (soft-ball stage), about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in marshmallow creme, peanut butter and vanilla until blended. Immediately spread over chocolate layer. If desired, sprinkle with peanuts. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm, covering when cooled.
Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Remove foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container.

I found the peanut butter layer to be a bit lack luster in flavor--I will try to amp up the peanut butter next time. good idea though.

My kids love this recipe! If you are having trouble getting it to set I would recommend turning the burner up a tad to medium-high heat to achieve a full boil. Immediately turn to medium heat and boil to the recommended temperature to avoid over heating. Hopefully the results will be better. This fudge recipe is delicious!

I cooked each layer for at least 20 min., it would not reach soft ball stage. I put it in the refrigerator and it still did not set up. Is there an error on the amount of sugar? bls

Followed directions to a tee but my fudge never solidified and even after sitting in fridge overnight is still as mushy as pudding!! What did I do wrong?
