Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ⅔ cup evaporated milk
  • 30 saltine crackers (finely crushed (1 cup))
  • ⅓ cup creamy or chunky peanut butter ((I used creamy))
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped peanuts

Instruction

  • Coat an 8- x 8-inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Coat the sides of a heavy medium saucepan with non-stick cooking spray. Add the sugar and evaporated milk and cook, stirring, over MEDIUM-HIGH until mixture boils. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add crackers, peanut butter, and vanilla, stirring until peanut butter is melted. Let stand, without stirring, for 30 minutes.
  • Using a wooden spoon, beat vigorously until fudge becomes very thick and just starts to lose its gloss (about 4 to 5 minutes). Immediately spread fudge into prepared pan.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or a small, heavy saucepan over MEDIUM-LOW heat, stirring often. Pour over fudge and spread out evenly with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
  • Allow fudge to sit until chocolate has set and fudge is firm. Cut into 1-inch squares. Store in an airtight container.
