Peanut Butter Fudge

On my last trip to New Zealand we stumbled across "The Remarkable Sweet Shop", where besides lollies and chocolates, they sold their very own home made "Peanut Butter Fudge". This fudge would have to be one of the most delectable things I've ever eaten.

Today I made some of my own. Now whilst I don't believe this version lives up to one etched in my memory, it's still bloody good.



To make:

1/2 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups icing sugar

Melt the butter in a saucepan then stir in the brown sugar and milk. Boil this mixture for 2 mins stirring frequently.

Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla.

Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl, and pour the mixture over the sugar. Stir until it is well combined and has no lumps.

Pour the fudge into an 8x8in tray that has been lined with foil.

Refrigerate until firm then cut into small squares to serve.
