Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) chunky peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts (I use lightly salted)
Ingredients (frosting)
1/2 cup peanuts
6 ounces chocolate chips
Method
Step 1
Combine sugar, butter and evaporated milk. Stir constantly. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat. Continue cooking for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add marshmallows, peanut butter, vanilla and peanuts. Stir until blended. Pour into a greased or wax paper lined 8-in. pan. Cool and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
Step 2
To frost, melt chocolate chips. The easiest way is to add a tablespoon of milk or butter and microwave on low for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between. It'll take 2 or 3 times and they should be melted. Mix in peanuts. Allow to cool enough to be spreadable. Spread on set fudge and return to the refrigerator until frosting is set. About 2 hours.
Use a peanut butter like Skippy, not the kind you stir or it won’t set well.
