Peanut Butter Fudge

How to make peanut butter fudge

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
• Stir in the brown sugar and the milk and cook at a rolling boil for around 2 minutes, stirring.
• Take off the heat and stir in the peanut butter and a few drops of vanilla essence.
• Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl.
• Pour the peanut butter mixture over the sugar and mix until smooth.
• Put around 1/5 of the mixture to one side. Tip the rest into a flat, buttered tin (approx. 20x20 cm) and smooth flat.
• Cover and chill in the refrigerator for around 2 hours until set.
• Melt the chocolate in a bowl over hot water.
• Add to the reserved fudge mixture and stir in well.
• Line a baking tray with grease-proof paper.
• Spoon the chocolate fudge into a piping bag with a plain nozzle and pipe small blobs onto the baking tray.
• Scatter over the peanuts, cover and put to chill.
• Turn the fudge out of the tin and cut into cubes.
• Place one piece of chocolate fudge on each peanut butter fudge square.
