\u00a0Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiched in between two slices of white bread. \u00a0Perfection&#8230;in a weird way.<\/p>\n<p>I had a jar of Fluff in the pantry. \u00a0Do not ask me why. \u00a0Someone must have snuck it into my shopping cart. \u00a0So I found this recipe for peanut butter fudge that uses a jar of the sticky and almost sickeningly sweet white goop.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn&#8217;t the best fudge I&#8217;ve ever made. \u00a0A few years ago I used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/rachael-ray\/five-minute-fudge-wreath-recipe\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">this recipe<\/a> from Rachel Ray with terrific results. \u00a0I made a few batches; chocolate with peanuts and raisins, and white chocolate with cranberries and pistachios. \u00a0Both were delicious and simple. \u00a0The recipe can be easily adapted. \u00a0Change the chips to white, or peanut butter, and then add in the same amount of any nut, chopped candies or dried fruit. \u00a0Endless options!<\/p>\n<p>I might try to create a peanut butter fudge using the Rachel Ray recipe. \u00a0This recipe produced good tasting fudge, but it was very dry and crumbly. \u00a0I am pretty confident that I did something wrong. \u00a0It tastes OK, but maybe not good enough to waste a whole lot of calories. \u00a0It may end up in the trash. \u00a0I don&#8217;t do that often, but when I have a choice between delicious cookie swap cookies and dry sugary fudge&#8230;it&#8217;s not exactly a tough decision. \u00a0If you want to try this and tell me what I did to make such a rock hard pan of sugar, please do!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2597\" title=\"fudge1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/fudge1.jpg?resize=364%2C279\" alt=\"fudge1\" width=\"364\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/fudge1.jpg?w=364 364w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/fudge1.jpg?resize=300%2C229 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Peanut Butter Fudge (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cooks.com\/rec\/view\/0,167,157167-225193,00.html\" target=\"_blank\">cooks.com<\/a>)<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>2 1\/3 c. sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 stick butter<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 of 7 1\/2 oz. jar marshmallow fluff<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 c. milk<\/li>\n<li>12 oz. jar peanut butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li>Cook sugar, butter, marshmallow and milk on stove top over medium-high heat until it boils.<\/li>\n<li>Continue to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.<\/li>\n<li>Remove from the heat, add peanut butter and mix until creamy.<\/li>\n<li>Spread in an 8&#215;8 pan and let cool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:70px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/2009\/12\/06\/peanut-butter-fluff-fudge\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"400\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marshmallow Fluff is one of those things that should probably never have been invented. \u00a0It wouldn&#8217;t have been invented by anyone but Americans. \u00a0I love the stuff. \u00a0A friend of mine in high school grew up in Boston and began bringing &#8220;Fluffernutters&#8221; for lunch and I was amazed!
