Thanks for posting that (again :roll: ) bluekarin! :D:D

 

Will be trying that tomorrow!

 

your very welcome :D I have bought some crunchy peanut butter for the sole purpose of making this for this weekend. Just need to get the sugar and butter. Looking forward to trying it as I really love the sweet and salt together thing at the mo :drool:

I'll be trying it again with light brown sugar I think. The dark brown sugar made it too treacly for my taste.

 

The first mouthful was nice, but after 1/2 pound, it got too much. :oops:

 

Interesting, I nearly made this at the weekend, but only had light muscovado sugar in the cupboard, not the dark. I will make it with light and see how it turns out.

You know me Lesley, not a big sweet fan. I eat like a sparrow most of the time :wink:

 

Just like Lesley then! :D

 

I made some of the peanut fudge last night for easter gifts. It is setting in the fridge and I haven't cut/tried it yet. Not really got a sweet tooth, but Phil and Roise will enjoy it.

 

Made with light muscovado sugar, so I will report back on the taste. I also had a dab of condensed milk left in the fridge from something else I made, so popped that in as part of the milk measure.

I have made some this evening for Easter. I used light brown sugar and it is setting in a larger tray than mentioned in the recipe (a swiss roll one). The plan is to make the pieces smaller so then less sweet so then you can eat a bit more :wink::lol:

Kids keep asking 'when's it ready?' Apart from YD who doesn't like peanut butter, or any nuts for that fact. But she does like sugar almonds :roll:

The contrast wasn't as sweet/salty as I hoped - maybe a pinch of salt would remedy that. Too sweet if anything. I used light brown sugar as well. Slightly grainy too - maybe didn't boil the sugar/butter/milk mix for long enough. I'm glad I did it in a larger tray so the pieces are so hefty. I shall see what the family think on Sunday as I am bringing some with me.
