Got a good old fashioned peanut butter fudge recipe???

I lost one of my favorite PB fudge recipes a few years back. It was the type that you cook on the stovetop and then pour into the pan to set and slice. It held up great WITHOUT refrigeration!! It did not use PB baking chips….just the real thing, PB right out of the jar. NO CHOCOLATE either!!!

Any help is much appreciated….Thank You and Bless You!!!

Popular Questions About Chocolate Candy Recipes With Nuts

Charles asks…

Can you replace the nuts with chocolate chips in a maple candy recipe ?

Will It make much of a difference ? Im making some for my friends , and Just in case someone is allergic to nuts , I don’t want to risk it ! So , Is there something else I can replace it with ? or is chocolate chips ok ? Thanks !

admin answers:

Go ahead and try it. Experimentation in cooking brought about some of the most delicious deserts in my house.

Lizzie asks…

I need a good fruit candy recipe that is not a hard or crunchy candy and does not contain chocolate or nuts?

I already have made soft peanut butter brittle, chocolate covered toffee with nuts and caramel crackers, I need one more candy to put out for guests. Thank you.

admin answers:

I make up candies to give as Christmas gifts and these fruit candies really add color to them. The taste is wonderful.

Pâte de fruit
1 cup chunky applesauce
1 ½ cups apricots, peeled and pitted
2 ¼ cups sugar
1 cup raspberries (optional)
Place the applesauce, apricots and sugar in a non-reactive 2 quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium high heat. Mix together, then add the raspberries. The raspberries will dominate the flavor. If you want apricot-flavored pâte de fruit, omit the raspberries. Use a hand-held immersion blender or whisk to combine all of the ingredients until smooth and homogenous. As the mixture cooks, the natural pectin in the fruit will cause the mixture to thicken. Continue to cook the mixture until it is thick, mixing constantly. To test for the correct consistency, dip a whisk in the mixture and hold it horizontally in front of you. Watch as the mixture drips off the whisk and back into the pan. If the mixture stays on the whisk beads up into small balls, like pearls, it is ready. If it drips back into the pan in thin strands, it needs to be cooked a little longer.

When the mixture is ready, pour it into a 10-inch bottomless tart mold or cake ring place on parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Let the pâte de fruit cool and set, about 3 hours at room temperature. If the pate de fruit appears slightly soft after cooling, return it to the saucepan and boil another few minutes, then cool as directed.

To unmold, run a sharp knife between the pâte de fruit and the side of the mold. Lift off the mold. At this point the pâte de fruit can be stored, well wrapped in plastic wrap and in a airtight container, for up to 4 weeks. Sprinkle the top of the pâte de fruit with a thin layer of granulated sugar and flip it over onto another sheet of parchment paper. Remove the parchment that is now on top. Sprinkle this side with more sugar. Use a wet chef’s knife to cut the disk into strips and then onto squares. You will probably need to stop cutting and clean the knife after every few cuts. The pâte de fruit is very sticky and will be easier to cut with a clean knife. Roll each square completely in sugar and serve. Do not store in the refrigerator where the humidity will make the sugar melt.

Substitute an equal amount of hulled and sliced strawberries or the juice of 1 large lemon, instead of the raspberries to flavor.

Please help me solve this problem.
Thanks

Get some paraffin to add to the chocolate!! This thins it out a lot. Grate it with the cheese grater.

I can’t tell you how much to add, it is a visual thing. Paraffin is found with the canning stuff at the grocery stores.

Would Heath Ice cream make a good milkshake?

Heath ice cream and I also have something called ‘Otter Paw’ It’s a store brand ice cream flavor and it’s vanilla ice cream with caramel swirls and I think chocolate covered pecans…what do you think? Would either of these make a good milkshake?

admin answers:

I would do any flavor minus the kind with nuts. It’s real easy to choke on small pieces of pecans, but not chocolate or caramel.

Popular Questions About Chocolate Brownie Recipe

February 10, 2012 by  
Filed under Q&A

Jenny asks…

Can anyone recommend a good triple chocolate brownie recipe?

I’ve attempted making brownies several times and they fail every time. I want to know your best brownie recipe, preferably triple chocolate.

admin answers:

This is the absolute best Brownie recipe ever. A bit expensive but it makes a HUGE pan. Cut the recipe in half and bake in a 13X9 pan if you want.
Outrageous Brownies
1 pound unsalted butter
1 pound plus 2 Cups semi sweet chocolate chips-divided
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
6 extra large eggs
3 Tb instant coffee powder
2 Tb vanilla extract
2 1/4 Cup sugar
1 1/4 Cup flour-divided
1 Tb baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
3 Cups diced walnuts
In a medium bowl place walnuts, 2 Cups of the chocolate chips and the 1/4 cup of flour. Toss together and set aside.
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13X18 pan. This would be a 1/2 sheet pan you can get at Costco or Sam’s if you don’t have one. Or use a jelly roll pan, it is a bit smaller but should work just watch the bake time.
Melt together the butter, chocolate chips,(not the ones in the bowl with the nuts) and unsweetened chocolate on top of a double boiler. Cool slightly. Stir together the eggs, instant coffee, vanilla and sugar. Stir in the warm chocolate mixture and cool to room temperature.
Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the chocolate mixture. Stir in the reserved nuts and chocolate chips that have been tossed with the flour.
Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 minutes. Halfway through he baking time open the oven and bang the pan on the oven rack. This allows air to escape from between the pan and the batter. (I know it sounds crazy but it works.) DO NOT over bake! Cool thoroughly. Refrigerate and cut into squares.
I know warm brownies taste great but these will cut much better refrigerated. If I want one warm I “zap” it in the microwave for a few seconds.
I got this years ago off the Food Network it is Ina Gartens recipe. I think she has another using the same basic recipe but she adds peanut butter and swirls it through the batter.
Your search for the best brownie is over.

Mandy asks…

Does anyone have a chocolate brownie recipe without any nuts?

I want to make some brownies but im alergic to nuts dont have any chocolate but i have cocoa powder. Does any one have a recipe that doesnt involve nuts and chocolate but cocoa powder instead of choclate?

admin answers:

My very good chocolate brownie recipe

No nuts, no flavourings, just a 24-carat brownie as dense and fudgy as Glastonbury mud. Whatever else you add is up to you. Serves 12 (or two with the munchies).

Ingredients
300g golden caster sugar
250g butter
250g chocolate (70 per cent cocoa solids)
3 large eggs plus 1 extra egg yolk
60g flour
60g finest quality cocoa powder
. Tsp baking powder

Method
1) You will need a baking tin, about 23cm x 23cm, preferably non-stick, or a small roasting tin.

2) Set the oven at 180°C/Gas 4. Line the bottom of the baking tin with baking parchment. Put the sugar and butter into the bowl of a food mixer and beat for several minutes till white and fluffy. You can do it by hand if you wish, but you need to keep going until the mixture is really soft and creamy.

3) Meanwhile, break the chocolate into pieces, set 50g of it aside and melt the rest in a bowl suspended over, but not touching, a pan of simmering water. As soon as the chocolate has melted remove it from the heat. Chop the remaining 50g into gravel-sized pieces.

4) Break the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly with a fork. Sift together the flour, cocoa and baking powder and mix in a pinch of salt. With the food mixer running slowly, introduce the beaten egg a little at a time, speeding up in between additions. Remove the bowl from the mixer to the work surface, then mix in the melted and the chopped chocolate with a large metal spoon. Lastly, fold in the flour and cocoa, gently and firmly, without knocking any of the air out. Scrape the mixture into the prepared cake tin, smooth the top and bake for 30 minutes. The top will have risen slightly and the cake will appear slightly softer in the middle than around the edges.Pierce the centre of the cake with a fork – it should come out sticky, but not with raw mixture attached to it. If it does, then return the brownie to the oven for three more minutes. It is worth remembering that it will solidify a little on cooling, so if it appears a bit wet, don’t worry.

Lizzie asks…

does anyone have a chocolate brownie recipe that has chocolate topping in the ingredients?

mum had this recipe on a piece of cardboard that she bought from a fate about 30 years ago and it has chocolate topping (the kind that you put on icecream) in the batter for the brownies, most people think it goes on the top but it doesnt.
having a lot of trouble trying to find it mum has searched the house with no luck..i have the hershey recipe but that is not the recipe….thanks in advance if someone can help

admin answers:

* 1/2 cup butter
* 1 cup white sugar
* 4 eggs
* 1 (16 ounce) can chocolate syrup
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
* 1/3 cup evaporated milk
* 1/4 cup butter
* 1 1/2 cups white sugar
* 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, eggs, chocolate syrup, vanilla, flour and 1/2 cup nuts in a mixing bowl; beat well. Spread batter in a 15 x 12 inch pan.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
4. Combine remaining 1/4 cup butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar in heavy saucepan. Add milk, and boil for 30 seconds. Remove pan from heat. Stir in chocolate chips, and beat until thickened. Frost brownies while still warm. Sprinkle with remaining nuts. Cool.

This does have a frosting, but it uses syrup for the brownies themselves! I hope this is helpful :)

Lisa asks…

Anyone have any good chocolate dessert recipes?

It doesn’t matter to me how hard the recipe is. I just like having more chocolate recipes that taste great.

admin answers:

Chocolate cobbler
Melt 6 tablespoons butter in an 8×8 inch baking dish.
In a bowl combine 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 c cocoa and pinch of salt. Mix in 1/2 cup milk and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth. Spread into the baking dish with melted butter.
In a separate bowl mix together 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa and sprinkle over batter in the baking dish..
Pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water over the ingredients in the baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

I had never heard of this but was served it at a restaurant and googled it when I got home.
I have made it several times
You can increase the cocoa to make it more chocolaty, but over 1/3 cup will make it bitter. I have also added a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the batter which is good as well or almond flavoring instead of vanilla.
It is good by it’s self, but delicious with ice cream.

Linda asks…

Fruit-Filled Chocolate Meringues

2 egg whites at room temperature
1/4 tsp. Cream of tartar
Dash salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract
2 Tbsp. Cocoa powder
3/4 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, halved or
quartered depending on size
3/4 cup fresh or frozen whole raspberries
1 Tbsp. Superfine or confectioners’ sugar (for garnish)

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In mixing bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar, vanilla and salt until soft peaks form (tips of peaks will curl over when beaters are removed).

Beat in sugar a little at a time until soft peaks form (peaks will remain upright when beaters are removed). Sprinkle cocoa over top and fold in gently.

Drop meringue by 1/4 cup portions onto parchment paper that has been lightly coated with cooking spray. Indent center of each with back of tablespoon.

Bake 45 minutes or until dry to touch. Remove and cool. When completely cooled, store in air-tight container to prevent meringues from becoming soggy before serving time.

Just prior to serving, fill center of each meringue with mixture of fruit so berries mound slightly. Lightly dust fruit with sugar to garnish. If confectioners’ sugar is used, sift lightly over berries using small strainer and spoon to move sugar through strainer. This technique achieves light dusting desired.

Low-Fat Chocolate Brownie Recipe

Sometimes we just have to get our dose of chocolate (hey, it’s got tons of antioxidants!) Baking your own homemade brownies let you stay in control of the calories. With this recipe you can have your brownie cake and eat it, too. Using applesauce cuts down the need for butter/margarine in half, and all that Splenda makes these brownies a lot lower calories and carbs. The result? A sweet and satisfying cakey brownie. Guilt-free dessert? Pretty close. Just remember – all things in moderation.

Ingredients
# 2/3 cup flour
# 2/3 cup Splenda
# 1/3 cup cocoa powder
# 1/3 cup margarine
# 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
# 2 eggs
# 1 tsp vanilla
# 1 teaspoon baking powder
# ¼ tsp salt

Directions
# Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
# Mix flour, Splenda, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set this dry mix aside.
# Blend eggs, margarine and vanilla together. Add and blend applesauce.
# Slowly add dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients. Mix well.
# Grease a 9×9 or 8″ circular baking pan (look below for more suggestions).
# Pour brownie mix into baking pan.
# Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Brownies are done when a toothpick or knife to the center comes out clean.
# Cool at room temperature, then eat or refrigerate brownies.

Serving ideas
# Bake the brownie mix in a mini muffin pan for delicious, portion controlled treats.
# Add 1/3 cup crushed walnuts to the brownie mix before baking.

Try this chocolate cupcake one. It is really easy to make and tastes delicious. I usually make a massive mess when I make it buts thats because it is also super fun to make.

2. Lay out about 30 patty cases.
3. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and creamy. Gradually add eggs and mix until combined.
4. Sift flour, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda. Add to creamed mixture with milk. Stir until just combined.
5. Spoon in patty cases. Then cook for about 20 mintues or until skewer comes out clean. Cool and then spread tops with chocolate butter cream

Chocolate buter cream
60g unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups icing sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon cocoa, sifted
1 tablespoon milk

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.

Paul asks…

Can I put Tia Maria in a chocolate truffle recipe?

I want to make a chocolate truffle recipe for a dinner party tomorrow evening and i know it is possible to put alcohol in truffles, but i was wondering whether or not tia maria would be ok, i thought the coffee liquer would compliment the rich truffle taste. Also, at which point in the cooking process would i add the liquer? Thanks!

admin answers:

Use to love Tia Maria. I still have an unopened bottle that dates back from the late 80′s to early 90′s. Don’t ask me why.

I bet it would be just fine.

Ruth asks…

Any recipes for a nice chilled chocolate mousse/truffle like in M&M Meatshops Chocolate Truffle Dream cake?

Looking for an easy recipe for a nice, cool and light chocolate mousse or truffle.
Something similar to to awesome chocolate mousse in the M&M Meatshops Chocolate Truffle Dream Cake.
I’ve been craving this for a while and would love to make it!

Thanks :)
Any copycat recipes for the M&M Truffle Dream Cake? :)

admin answers:

Chocolate Mousse Torte
This is the ultimate cake of cakes !!!! Takes a little time but very impressive !!

CAKE
3 foil wrapped bars (total 6 oz ) Semi-sweet chocolate baking bar
1 1/4 cup water, divided
2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 tsp vanilla
2 eggs

MOUSSE FILLING
1 foil wrapped bar ( 2 oz) Chcocolate semi- sweet baking bar
2 TBSP of sugar
1 1/2 cup heavy cream, divided

VIENNESE GLAZE
4 foil wrapped bars ( 8 oz ) semi- sweet chocolate baking bar
2/3 cup heavy cream
3 TBSP powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla

Cake
Preheat oven to 375
Combine over hot water ( not boiling)
3 baking bars and 1/4 cup water
Stir until bars are melted and mixture is smooth
Set aside
Combine flour, salt and baking soda
Set aside
Combine sugar, butter, and vanilla, beat well
Add eggs one at a time
Blend in chocolate mixture
Gradually add flour mixture with 1 cup of water
Spread into 4 greased 9 inch round pans

This will not take long to bake. Original recipe calls for 2 pans and then splitting cakes which is a crumby mess. The 4 pans is much quicker and makes a much nicer cake.

Cool cakes and remove form pans
Spread 3 of the layers with the mousse filling ,placing the 4th cake on top with no filling
A good idea is to put this i the refrigerater a few min, to set the filling before putting on the glaze
The glaze will set very fast and it will have a veery nice smooth look to it.

GLAZE
In med pan over low heat
Combine chocolate bars, heavey cream, and powdered sugar
Stir untill mixture is smooth
Add vanilla
Transfer to small bowl
Cool to room temp
Pour over cake

If I make this in the summer I like to get leaves like lilac ones, wash them and dry
Brush the top of the leaves in melted chocolate and put in freezer on wax paper to harden
Carefully peel off leave and place the 3 chocolate leaves in the center of the cake

Lizzie asks…

Chocolate Truffle Recipe Made With MILK INSTEAD OF CREAM?

I’m planning on making truffles. Does anyone know of an EASY recipe. Also, can I use Chocolate Chips? And does anyone know of a recipe that uses *MILK* INSTEAD OF CREAM?

admin answers:

This way is sooo much easier and they are delicious!!

Cake Truffles

Ingredients:
1 box devils food cake mix
1 container of ready to use frosting (16 oz.), any flavor (I used some cream cheese frosting) but chocolate would be good too!
Chocolate for coating the truffles, any type (I used just a little more than 1 lb. Of white Ghiradelli chocolate) You could make a variety and use milk chocolate as well….

Directions:

1. Bake cake as directed on box. Allow to cool completely.

2. Crumble cake finely, using hands.

3. Stir in frosting, at room temperature, until well distributed through cake crumbs.

4. Shape cake into small balls, about 1″ in diameter (I made mine similar to the size of Lindt truffle balls). Place balls on a cookie sheet and chill for several hours in the freezer (I did mine overnight).

5. Melt chocolate in the microwave a couple of ounces at a time, and one by one, dip the frozen cake balls into the chocolate to coat. Set on wax paper to allow to set.

6. Store in an air-tight container. The are great at room temperature or refrigerated – try it both ways!

I LOVE these! I have also had Strawberry (cake) w/ cream cheese frosting dipped in milk chocolate…so good!!

Any cake flavor/icing flavor combo will work!!

Sandra asks…

can i replace the cocoa poweder with chocolate syrup in the brownies recipe?

I read in this brownies recipe, that after i melt the 2 butter sticks i put on it a half cup of unsweatened cocoa and mix it together then add the suger then after that mix 3 eggs in a bowl with vanilla powder and add them to the mixture then add half cup of flour and mix it.
I want to know if it’s possible that i add chocolate syrup to the mixture instead of cocoa, and if so then how much?
thanks!

admin answers:

Probably not a good idea.
The cocoa is going to have a much more chocolaty flavor.
The added liquid from the syrup will have an affect on the texture of the batter.
The added sugar will affect the final taste.

If you do not have cocoa powder try melting unsweetened chocolate or possibly chocolate chips with your butter and allow to cool for a bit. (That way you wont cook the eggs when you add it)

James asks…

Is it REALLY that bad that I let the kids eat peanut butter fudge for breakfast….?

I mean, isn’t it a better idea for them to get that sugar rush first thing in the morning when they can run around like chickens with their heads cut off and burn off all that extra energy? As opposed to giving it to them at night when I would want them to be calm and get ready for bed? It’s not THAT much sugar….just 4 cups of sugar for a 24 serving container of fudge.

EDIT: Yes, I’m kidding! What is something your family always makes at Christmas time? Mine always made chocolate fudge, but the recipe got messed up and now we make peanut butter fudge and muddy buddies. We also always have hershey kisses.

admin answers:

Haha, I was gonna say that fudge probably doesn’t have THAT much more sugar than than something like captain crunch or lucky charms… And then I was going to say peanut butter is a good source of protein. Alas. Sounded good to me, hah.

We make fudge too, it’s the one regular thing that I keep making — I do like to mix up the cookies a bit.. I just bought a bunch of stuff to make it too! Here’s my recipe (it’s so stupid easy that it’s impossible to mess up):

Does anyone have a recipe for caramel/fudge filling for a chocolate cake?

I remember making a chocolate fudge cake when I was a kid – it was made using a ring pan. When cool, it was split in half and spread with the chocolate fudge which set to a gooey consistency when cooled (it was made on the stove in a saucepan). I think it had chocolate icing on top. From memory, it may have been from one of those CWA-type cpompilation recipe bookes, but I can’t remember for sure.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Donald asks…

Looking for recipe for peanut butter fudge with chocolate fudge topping?

Bought this treat at holiday fair and it was great. The peanut butter fudge part was a lighter texture rather than a super dense fudge. Have found recipes for both kinds of fudge but not one like this. Would love to make this for holiday family treat.

looking for chocolate peanut butter fudge recipe?

I’m looking for my dad’s old chocolate peanut butter fudge recipe. He has Alzheimers and can no longer remember it, and never wrote it down. From watching him make it as a child i remember most of the ingredients, but not all and not quantities. the ingredients i remember are

Karo syrup
sugar (about 5lbs for a double batch)
maple flavoring
vanilla
canned milk (evaporated)
cocoa (powdered, not bars)
peanut butter (1 large Jiff container)

there’s more, but that’s the basics. i think there was some salt and maybe a couple other things… i just can’t remember. Does anyone happen to have this recipe? My family has requested it for Christmas and the microwave stuff and the “easy” recipes just don’t measure up. As a note: There was NO Marshmallow Cream in the recipe.

2 ½ cups of sugar.
1 cup of milk.

Lizzie asks…

Can I add refrigerator hot fudge sauce to a peanut butter fudge recipe?

Making peanut butter fudge and do no have any Chocolate bars/chips but do have refrigerator hot fudge will this work?

admin answers:

No, it won’t work because the sauce isn’t hard at room temp while the chips are. Your fudge won’t set up properly.

Chocolate Fudge

You will need:

12 oz. Milk chocolate chips.
14 oz. Can sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated)
1 1/2 – 2 tsp. Vanilla extract
1 TBS. Butter
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
chocolate chips, chopped nuts, sprinkles –optional topping variations

In heavy saucepan, over low heat, heat up the sweetened condensed milk (do not boil!). Stir this as it’s warming so it doesn’t scald. When it’s hot (but not boiling), add the chocolate chips and stir until smooth.

When all the chocolate chips are melted, turn off the heat and add the vanilla. Add the butter and stir quickly until it melts. Add the nuts (if you’re adding any) and mix well.

Spread evenly into a wax (or parchment) paper lined 8-inch square pan.
Chill 2 to 3 hours (or better, overnight) until firm.

When you’re ready to cut…turn fudge onto cutting board; peel off paper and cut into squares. Store loosely covered at room temperature. This can be stored in the fridge for a week or so, just take it out an hour or two before you want to eat it.

If you want a topping (nuts, chocolate chips, sprinkles), you can add them on top before putting the fudge in to the regrigerator to cool. When you’re ready to cut the fudge, unstead of turning the pan over, use the wax (or parchment) paper to pull the fudge out of the pan, and cut then cut it into squares.

Adding the topping to the pan before adding the fudge sometimes leads to it being mixed in and when you turn the pan over later, the topping ends up uneven; adding it on top just before refrigerating, you can press it lightly onto the top of the fudge and it will stay in place better when cutting.

This is a soft fudge that tastes very much like the chips you use, so you’ll want to use a kind you like. Milk chocolate works better than the semisweet variety in this recipe.
