This was awesome! It was my first time making fudge, and it turned out great. I did add more peanut butter and cocoa, but I had no problems with graininess - I made sure to reach the soft ball stage and not stir too much, and it turned out great!

I followed the advice of the icing sugar and the recipe turned out OK. I have a candy thermometer and know how to do the soft ball stage with the glass of cold water. The fudge turned out a little softer than I like, but overall OK.

Really Good, to be the first time that i make it of course we love peanut butter so instead of the original amount of peanut butter i used 1/2 Cup crunchy PB and 1/4 creamy PB and instead of evaporated milk i improvised and used normal 2% 1&1/2 C and also i added 1 Teaspoon of vanilla it came out sooooo creamy of course i added and extra 1 TSP of butter and cutted it as soon as it was semi cold kinda semi warm so it wont brake, i submited a pictured and guess what? it Melts in your mouth, not grainy or crystalized and even tho i dont have a candy thermometer i did it and just let it boiled till it became a very slow boil and all the way to the top, so for those who dont have a CT just let it boil till it raises like if its going to overboile and the trick is when it is boiling really slow like not boiling at all. I love it, and plan to make it again just as i did. again not bad for a first time make!!!! Jen

As a peanut butter lover, I tend to add more. I added about 2/3 of a cup--and it turned out perfectly!

This turned out perfect! I followed the recipe as written with the addition of a tsp of vanilla and it turned out rich, creamy, melt in your mouth yummy! A new favroite in our house :)

I was limited to the microwave for boiling the syrup, and was worried that it wouldn't set because I hadn't reached the soft ball stage. After microwaving and stirring for short bursts so that it wouldn't burn, I decided to add half a bag of chocolate chips to the mixture. It set up almost immediately, and my flatmates were so impressed with how chocolatey and rich it was. I also used powdered sugar instead of white; I think only about 2.5 cups in addition to the chocolate I added. Thanks for a great base recipe!

Dad liked.....i thought only ok

I tried this recipe two different times and it didn't turn out either time. It was really grainy. I used a candy thermometer, and followed the directions to a tee. Didn't work out for us.

Not a terrible recipe. I didn't want to make a huge amount so I cut the recipe in half, and it's always turned out. I'd give it five stars but I have decided to unrealistically give five stars only to recipes that can self correct the mistakes I make when I make them. I'm doing something wrong and I suspect it's stirring too much. But that darn wooden spoon is just so hard to put down!

I was scared to make this but I have a LOT of evaporated milk that I won't use and a bunch of sugar that wouldn't fit into the container. Thank you Proofhead for saying not to monkey with it...it worked! My husband all but licked the pan clean and I've got to make at least 2 more batches!

This is the first time I have ever attempted fudge. My husband wanted some so I decided to use this recipe. It turned out very good. I used confectioners sugar like one reviewer suggested. It tasted more like peanut butter than chocolate to me (which I like better)but if your looking for choclately fudge, I wouldn't suggest this one.

This is the fudge my Mother made. It does take white sugar, not powdered. The reason for the graininess, is stirring it too much. Mom always said, Don't monkey with it or it'll go sugary on you. Soft ball stage is dropping a teaspoon full in a cup cold water..If it stays together in a soft ball, it's done. Good luck with this recipe, once you do it right, you'll feel so accomplished.

I've made fudge many times and decided to try a new recipe. This didn't even come close to my expectations or standards! I know what a "ball stage" is, and this certainly never occurred. The description is very poorly written, my mistake for even trying it.

Mmmmmm. So good. My 2 year old bawled when I told him no more. It does taste like a no bake cookies minus the oatmeal, but no bake cookies are my favorite. I doubled the chocolate and used 1% milk because I was all out of canned. I'm sure it would be even better with canned milk.

This is an excellent quick fix recipe. I used 2 cups of powdered sugar instead of 3 as suggested. I write in from India, where we evaporated milk is not freely available. Can regular milk be substituted for it?

Sorry, I didn't care for this at all. It was very grainy and a lot harder than most fudges. I prefer the creamy type. The directions were good, and only needed a few ingredients but it's not a fudge I would give at Christmas.

could be better

This is good fudge. Although it took me 3 times to perfect it. And I tried it with confectioner's sugar and white sugar. I decided that the white sugar worked better. Made a great Halloween Treat! Just be sure to boil it on the high temperature long enough (almost like its about to boil over), otherwise you wind up with frosting like fugde instead.
