PAULA DEEN’S 5 MINUTE FUDGE



Flip it!

I made two batches of this recipe with my Dutch oven and wisk to stir. The 1st batch I made as is written. It turned out smooth rich tasting fudge. The 2nd batch I made as is written but adding 2 tablespoons brown sugar along with the white,1/4 cup creamy peanut butter,1/2 chopped walnuts and added a few extra marshmallows and whipped it with my wisk till it was smooth and creamy. Maybe took a full minute to mix after the cooking milk,sugar,butter part.
This made some of the BEST peanut butter chocolate frosting for my cake.

I loved this recipe. I did not tweak it. I left it as is. And I took some to my sister and her maintenance man LOVED it. I said okay, I’ll make you some. HE loved it. I will be using this as my go to fudge.

It took me about 7 or 8 minutes to stir everything…..from the sugar mixture until the end when I dumped in the nuts. Then I poured it into an 8×8 glass dish, put in the fridge and that was it. Absolute total time, from start to finish…maybe 10 or 12 minutes. And the end result was fantastic. This one’s a keeper!
