Peanut Butter Fudge

It took quite a bit of searching to find this recipe. It was a treat made by our lunch ladies at Featherbed Elementary School. Back when I was a student there all of the lunches were homemade right in the huge kitchen there. It's just the best Peanut Butter Fudge I've had. So glad I found it.


2 cups sugar.
1 cup milk.
1 cup brown sugar.
3 Tablespoons Butter.
2 Cups peanut butter (smooth).
2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
1 candy thermometer

Cook first three ingredients to the soft ball stage (234 to 238 degrees) until drops in a cup full of cold water just barely form a ball and will fall apart when removed from the water.
Remove from heat and add the last three ingredients. Beat until it begins to thicken and pour into a buttered 9-by-12 inch or 11-by-13 inch pan, the smaller the pan the thicker the fudge.
Cool and cut into squares.
Enjoy

One of the favorites enjoyed by many who went to Baltimore County Schools in the 60's. It's so good. Somehow, kids were not allergic to Peanuts back then.
