Peanut Butter and Jelly Fudge |
If fudge is overcooked, even a little, it will be dry and crumbly. Is always better to err on the side of undercooking. To ensure success, remove fudge from heat just before it reaches the soft-ball stage.

Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking pan and set aside. Combine corn syrup, both sugars, milk, baking soda, and salt in a heavy, medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Insert a candy thermometer. Cook, stirring frequently, until temperature registers 23F (just below soft-ball stage). Dot overcook.
Immediately remove saucepan from heat. Add chilled butter, peanut butter, and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Pour the mixture into prepared pan. Set aside in a cool, dry place, and let fudge set.
Before the fudge cools completely, cut into desired shapes. Using a small melon baller, scoop out a small hole in the center of each fudge shape. Set shapes aside to cool completely. Fill a resealable plastic bag with jelly; close, and cut off a corner. Squeeze the jelly into holes. Store fudge in an airtight container up to 1 week.
Makes 16 two-inch squares.
