So part of teaching myself to cook has been branching out from strictly chicken and pasta dishes. Today, I took a run at peanut butter fudge. The recipe is courtesy of Bev Lewis, an old friend. It's just a quick fudge recipe; no fancy chemistry or equipment involved.
1/2 cup water
2 cups granulated sugar
Boil rapidly for two minutes, then add:
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Stir until completely melted, then pour into greased 8" or 9" square pan.
The hardest part will be waiting for it to set up before eating it!
