Papas Fudge Recipe 415

Steps:

• Mix & heat to softball state, stirring constantly until a low boil. Add 1-tsp vanilla & 2 tablespoon peanut butter. Cool Mix with mixer from shiny until dull shine stage. Spread on platter, cut & chill.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sugar. Stir with a wooden spoon until incorporated (kind of a loose gold sugar ball).
• Add the 5 squares of semi-sweet chocolate. Stir until melted, and bring to a boil.
• Add the light corn syrup, 1/4 cup Half and Half, and salt. Stir until everything is incorporated but not smooth.
• Bring the chocolate mixture to a boil, stirring constantly so that it doesn't burn.
• Take the saucepan off the burner and immerse in cool water, while continually stirring the chocolate mixture, until the mixture is around room temperature.
• Put the saucepan back on the burner and bring the mixture back to a boil while stirring constantly. Add the vanilla.
• Remove saucepan from burner, and immerse in cool water, while continually stirring the chocolate mixture. The chocolate mixture will be silky in texture.
• Put the saucepan back on the burner to heat up. At this point you may add additional Half and Half to obtain your desired fudge sauce consistency.
• Note: Sauce stores well in the refrigerator (becomes solid). Heat up slowly in the microwave with a little bit of Half and Half to obtain the desired consistency.
• Note: I'm not sure exactly how many it serves though when Papa made it there were 10 of us (7 adults and 3 older kids) and we polished it off.
