Nutter Butter Christmas Fudge
Ingredients:
- 3 Cups Sugar
- 3/4 Cup of Butter
- 5 oz of evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk)
-1 1/2 cups of Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 Seven ounce jar of Marshmallow crème or fluff
- 1 tsp of vanilla
*Line a 9x9 (or 8X8) square baking pan with foil.
*Bring sugar, butter, and evaporated milk to a rolling boil in a saucepan on medium heat. (Mine is 2 and 3/4 quart sized)
*Make sure to stir the mixture constantly as you bring it to a boil! This is super important for consistency.
*Keep stirring as it boils for 4 minutes (or if you have a candy thermometer, until it is 234 degrees.)
*Remove the pan from the heat.
*Stir in the peanut butter and marshmallow, mixing it until both are melted. Add vanilla and mix well.
*Pour the mixture into your prepared pan, spreading to cover the pan completely.
*Cool for a few hours before cutting.
I also like to add marshmallows on top before I let it cool. Afterwards I sometimes drizzle white chocolate sauce on top! But honestly the fudge just by itself is out of this world!! #lemon8challenge#holidayrecipes #fudgerecipe #foryou #holidaydessert
There's just something magical about homemade fudge, isn't there? Especially around the holidays! I've always loved trying out different fudge flavors, and honestly, making them myself has become one of my favorite traditions. While classic chocolate fudge is always a hit, delving into unique and festive fudge flavors is where the real fun begins! This Nutter Butter Christmas Fudge recipe is a perfect example of stepping outside the box. Who knew the creamy, nutty goodness of Nutter Butter cookies could transform into such an irresistible holiday treat? It's rich, sweet, and has that delightful peanut butter kick that makes it stand out from all the other holiday sweets on the table. It’s definitely a flavor that gets everyone asking for the recipe! But if you're like me and love to experiment, thinking about "fudge flavors" opens up a world of possibilities beyond just this delicious Nutter Butter version. The beauty of fudge is how adaptable it is. Once you have a reliable base, you can truly let your creativity shine. For instance, for a truly festive twist, you could try a peppermint fudge – just add peppermint extract and crushed candy canes. Or, how about a gingerbread fudge with a hint of molasses and ginger? Even a Cranberry Pistachio fudge offers a beautiful color and a tart-nutty contrast that’s simply divine. To create your own signature fudge flavors, think about your favorite dessert combinations. Love cookies and cream? Crush some Oreos and fold them into your white chocolate fudge base. A s'mores fudge with graham cracker crumbs, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chunks is always a crowd-pleaser. You can even infuse your fudge with different extracts like almond, orange zest, or even a touch of coffee for a mocha fudge. Don't forget the toppings! They're not just for decoration; they add texture and enhance the flavor profile. Adding extra mini marshmallows on top, as in this Nutter Butter recipe, gives it a wonderful soft bite. And a drizzle of a contrasting flavor, like a yellow sauce drizzle (perhaps a melted white chocolate colored with food coloring, or even a thin peanut butter drizzle for more nuttiness), can make your fudge look as good as it tastes. Thinking about presentation, especially around the holidays, can elevate a simple square of fudge into a delightful gift. You can even arrange them beautifully on a platter with some festive graphics around them to make them even more appealing. So, whether you stick to this incredible Nutter Butter Christmas Fudge or decide to venture into new territory, remember that making homemade fudge is a joyful process. It’s about sharing deliciousness and creating sweet memories. Happy fudging!
