3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge



2 cups sugar

1/2 cup milk



Put above ingredients in saucepan, and stirring constantly, watch for

this to come to boil. Time it at slow boil for 3 min. exactly.

Remove from heat, and stir in quickly:



1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)



Immediately, pour into buttered dish, let cool slightly and cut into

squares.



I love this because it contains no butter, but you can't tell the

difference. And, it hardens quickly; so don't stir too long once you

add the peanut butter.

Chocolate-Coated Strawberry Fudge
2 cups sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
4 ounces evaporated milk
2 ounces strawberry syrup (Hershey's)
4 ounces semisweet chocolate for dipping

Line an 8 x 10 inch shallow baking pan with buttered wax paper.  Put the sugar, butter, evaporated milk and strawberry syrup into a large heavy bottomed saucepan and place over low heat.  Stir occasionally.

Once the sugar has dissolved, bring the mixture to a boil gently,
stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning on the bottom of the pan. Boil gently until a little of the mixture dropped into cold water forms a soft ball, about 5 minutes. (Or, you can place a warmed candy thermometer in the saucepan and boil the mixture until it reaches 234 dehrees F.)

Take the pan off the heat and stir until the bubbles subside.  Beat
rapidly with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and becomes granular, about 3 minutes.

Pour the fudge into the prepared baking pan and let sit. If necessary, smooth with a spatula dipped in boiling water.  With shape cutters, cut out the fudge, and dip one side into melted chocolate; or decorate with piped chocolate creating different patterns.
