Questions about Peanut butter fudge
How do you stop peanut butter fudge turning grainy?
Stir the sugar and milk only until the sugar dissolves, then let the mixture boil without stirring until it reaches 112–116 °C. Take it off the heat, leave it until it cools to about 43 °C, then beat in the peanut butter; scraping sugar crystals from the sides of the pan can make the fudge grainy.
How long does peanut butter fudge take to set?
Pour it into a lined tin and leave it at room temperature until firm, usually a few hours. If you need to cut it sooner, chill it for about an hour, then use a warm, dry knife.
How should you store peanut butter fudge?
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool place for up to a week, with baking paper between the pieces so they do not stick. Refrigerate it in warm weather; bring it towards room temperature before serving for a softer bite.
Can you make peanut butter fudge without condensed milk?
Yes. A traditional cooked version uses sugar, milk and butter instead: boil the mixture to 112–116 °C, cool it briefly, then beat in peanut butter. Condensed-milk recipes are simpler, but the texture and setting time differ, so follow a recipe written for that method.
What can you serve with peanut butter fudge?
Cut it into small squares and serve with coffee or tea, or crumble a piece over vanilla ice cream. Its rich, sweet flavour also works in a dessert platter with tart fruit such as raspberries.
Is peanut butter fudge safe for someone with a peanut allergy?
No: peanut butter fudge contains peanuts, which can trigger a serious allergic reaction. Avoid it if you have a peanut allergy, and take care with shared utensils and surfaces.
How many calories are in a piece of peanut butter fudge?
A typical piece is about 16 g and contains 387 kcal. Pieces cut larger than that contain more.
