Tips and Traditions
- Work quickly once it thickens: Pour the fudge as soon as it starts to ripple — waiting too long will make it set in the pan before it’s poured.
- Use evaporated milk: For an even richer texture, substitute one can of evaporated milk for the regular milk.
- Butter as you go: Use a bit of your butter to grease the pan while the mixture boils — it saves time later.
- Trust your senses: Like Mom did, you’ll know it’s ready when you can feel the change — when it thickens just enough to ripple and begins to “feel right.”
- Share the tradition: This fudge isn’t just candy — it’s a memory. Each time you stir and pour, you’re carrying forward a piece of love that never fades.
Rich, nostalgic, and full of heart, Mom’s Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Cocoa Fudge is more than a recipe — it’s a legacy. Every swirl and ripple is a reminder that love lives on in the simplest traditions, especially the ones made by hand. So next time you stir, ask Mom to help guide you — she’ll be right there, just like always. 🍫💛
