Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

Silky, rich fudge that's so easy to make, it's going to be our new favourite candy treat!

Ingredients:

2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips 

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/3 cup peanut butter 

In a saucepan combine the chocolate chips with the condensed milk and heat on low for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally,  until the chocolate is melted.

Remove from heat and add the peanut butter. Stir together. It will already be starting to thicken.

Pour into a parchment lined 8 X 8" baking pan and refrigerate 1-2 hours to set.

Once set lift the fudge out of the pan and slice off the rough edges. (Those are the testers!)

Then cut the rest of the fudge.

Can be stored for a fews days in an air tight container at room temperature or for longer refrigerate.

Who's keeping fudge any longer than a few days anyways ?!?!?!!!

Bailey's Caramel Fudge

This fudge is soooooo creamy !!!

I wanted a Bailey's fudge that had cream in it.  Couldn't find one, so I worked with a few recipes and came up with this.  Fiddled with the creams and added caramel spread just for fun!

2 cups brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup 35% cream
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup 10% coffee cream
1/4 cup Bailey's Irish Cream Liquor (plus 2 Tbsps. for later)
2 Tbsp. Log Cabin Syrup
2 Tbsp. caramel spread
2 Tbsp. butter

Butter a piece of foil, then line an 8 X 8 pan with it.  (Easier to butter the foil first)
Mix all the ingredients in a pot and cook to boiling.  Use a good sized pot so you don't boil over. Boil until it reaches 238F on a candy thermometer (softball). Remove from heat and cool to 120F.  Do not stir.  You really need to use the candy thermometer, guessing doesn't work.
Add 2 more Tbsp. of Bailey's then beat until it loses the glossy sheen.  I actually took the pot outside (in the winter) to beat it.  It started thickening pretty quickly.
Pour into the 8 X 8 pan to set.

Really......let it set.  Don't be tempted to eat it with a spoon because it will set and make lovely squares. 
Hope you like it.
