Do you have a chocolate fudge recipe or could this be converted to chocolate?
whyyy cups?!! it's just not specific and only you guys understand the recipe :'c, I would really love if you started using a scale in grams.. please?
Unfortunately, the sugar amount is incorrect. You just end up with dried clumps.
I added Vahlrona Cocoa Powder..and this makes great chocolate fudge with no fail..next I'm going to try with cocoa and coconut!!
Dead link - Nevermind, just the one in the description is.
"But there's just something about this I really love and find fairly addicting." That might be the pound of powdered sugar.
To say nothing of the half pound of butter!
Peanut butter + butter + powdered sugar... theres literally only goodness in this
Honestly if you use all natural peanut butter and artificial sweeteners like erythritol and grass fed butter you could make something that is very very similar without all the diabetes that comes along with powdered sugar. Natural peanut butter and butter is relatively healthy for you in moderate amounts.
@@nomizak It's a pity influential people like Chef John don't embrace using alternatives to sugar which is the prime source for the obesity crisis.
@@nomizak Sugar consumption in itself does not increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It's a common misconception. It's being overweight that increases the risk, assuming you already have a genetic predisposition for it. Therefore, eating the sugary version in moderate amounts is also fine.
Thanks for explaining the difference in tha old fashioned recipe vs. the quicker one.
My Nana made us Penuche fudge for the holidays...so delicious and yes it melted on the tongue. would love to see a segment if there isn't one already on the making of that delicious treat. As always love the upbeat commentary and execution.
The Recipe is :
Peanut 🥜
Butter
Sugar
Vanilla Extract
Salt
There You Go 🔥
No that's the ingredients the recipe shows the amount of each ingredient dummy.
j rob Thank you Mr. Smart 🥜
@@TheGentlemanCave29 Your welcome Mr. Dumb.
I love how he got a problem with adding peanut butter with additives but is perfectly ok with using eggs and dairy that have additives far more serious than your peanut butter situation.
Another good recipe is peanut butter balls and it’s equal amounts of peanut butter honey and dry milk and you roll into balls and put it in refrigerator and they’re delicious
My mom used to make this when I was a kid, I hadn't thought about it for years. Now it's about to be Grandpa's Peanut Butter Fudge. Good thing I can return the sugar rushed grandkids to their mother afterward!
That sounds good 🤗
10/10, Best Grandpa.
bless you gramps
Oof, that’s mean. Hilarious, but mean.
Don't you know that when the grandkids are at your house sweets are called "Vegetables"? Then you can say, "Why yes. Yes they ate their vegetables." :)
My grandma only made racist jokes and green bean casserole.
OMG 😂😂😂
Burstburst
Cousin? Was there a cigarette dangling out the left side of her mouth? I’m so upset, I can’t believe she made you Bean Casserole?!? All I ever got was the back of her bony little hand.
Racism is funny 😂
lmao
lol
The only thing I remember my grandma making was a gin and tonic.
Hell yeah
Amen to that!!
Hellerr
Lol
So sorry...my granny loved her pbr.. but she still made us peanutbutter fudge... and this wasnt the recipe .sorry chef
The "perfect" cube shape is never how my grandma made fudge. It was always just random sized rectangles and sometimes a messed up triangle.
I'm sorry Chef John but, I missed the part where you put in a dash of cayenne. When was that? :)
C A Kincaid 😆
Yes, I missed it to! Hahahaha!
I found myself wondering if some cayenne would not go well with this - a bit of spice
You be the judge of how much cayenne to put in your peanut butter fudge.
My grandmother literally made her peanut butter fudge just like this. It was my favorite part of the holidays. Everyone else wanted chocolate but she would always make a separate batch of peanut butter for me.
Did he say “spatulate”? LOL
Indeed he did. That, after all, is what a spatulator is designed for.
1221bbear :he spatulated that very well 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"My Grandma did not make Peanut Butter fudge, but many others did." Chef John throwing shade at all the Grannies out there who don't make this fudge.
I used to get goody boxes of lots of lots of Polish cookies for Christmas from my grandma. We'd make "grasshopper" bars but we always bought our fudge from Macinac or a Kilwin's location
This is the only fudge recipe that doesn't use sweetened condensed milk I found on the internet
This gives me joy
Well if you're selling it to people you want to bulk it out a bit.
The recipe I've been using for years has only 4 igredients (sugar, vanilla, milk, peanut butter) and is literally fool proof! I add some marshmallow fluff to it to make it creamier but it's also good without.
Lisa M. Altemose. Can u share the recipe please?? Ty
Vore Bird , joy is a happy thing ☺️
@@udhe4421 I'm not sure Chef John would appreciate my sharing another recipe under his video. Just trying to be courteous. However, if you DM me, I'd be happy to give it to you then :)
“Judge Judy of your fudge duty” should win the Goddamn Pulitzer Prize.
thats going into my daily lexicon
Tried to make a peanut butter once, from another recipe... the mixture came out far too dry, couldn't be worked. The genius-me from back then had a flash of insight; "well, the recipe says to use milk, so I'll just add a dash of milk in case I didn't calculate properly from ounces to grams". Welp, turns out, that one dash of milk just ANNIHILATED whatever consistency I might have had and the whole thing just melted to a goop. Never solidified, even after being left overnight. On the other hand, I had 'peanut butter and chocolate fudge spread' for my toast tomorrow. Moral; don't be afraid of mistakes, you might find something really darn tasty even from a failure!
Nickolas Ganadakis something I can definitely relate to
There’s no mistakes in the kitchen, only creative variations 😁
Dang that sounds delicious anyway 😋
@@rachaelh9299 this! I agree 100%.
Yup...with a bit more butter u have a peanut syrup for pancakes!
Don’t hold a grudge bout grandmas fudge
😂❤
"There's just something about this I really love and find fairly addictive." -- some guy who just ate a chunk of literal butter and sugar
@Kam Mike both butter N pb
@Kam Mike You must have missed the ton of actual butter he melted with the peanut butter
It's candy. Get over it. Ever made Jam?
There is always a "nutritionist" on cooking channels. Everyone is a critic. Oh too much sugar....no kidding!!
@@ItsJustMe-nq1dg Did you read any of the comments in this thread? No one here complained that there's too much sugar. People discussed the ingredients and whether or not it's surprising that something with those ingredients is tasty and somewhat addictive.
Why can't people actually read before commenting...?
That would be great as the filling for peanut butter cups!
Yes!!
Imagine giving this to someone with a peanut allergy. Their last words would be "Oh, fudge"
Kill joy.
You are funny
I’m always here for it, but something about being “the Judge Judy of your fudge duty” is THE best, to me personally. And I’ve watched years and years and years of Chef John’s videos.
Best line of 2019
Yet Chef John didn't tell us to pack our fudge.
The Double Rhyme is rare.
The Barney Rubble of your Double Double doesn’t even completely get there.
Another get Chef John Tee-shirt idea.
"Spatulate This!"
A recipe I am actually willing to make, am capable of making, and absolutely love the taste of.
How did you manage to time this so perfectly to release on the day I start trying to lose weight.
My childhood dog passed away this week and his name was Fudge 😭😭 this is the perfect video.
I'm sorry 😢
Imagine if Jimmy Carter hadn’t sold his peanut farm and made deals with foreign Nations that they only make their peanut butter from his peanuts.
AND...then held the G7 on his farm property
Jimmy's peanut farm was managed in a blind trust while he was President. These temporary owners did a really poor job with everything, Jimmy's once profitable farm lost money and nearly bankrupted both the farm and Jimmy.
Imagine if, instead of a Rockefeller stooge, we had a better President in the late 1970s, like Mr. Peanut.
That's just a silly hypothetical. Nothing like that would ever happen in real life.
Imagine if everyone in Congress on both parties took checks to subvert the US government from big peanut butter and promote the destruction of western civilization and build the third temple. A very you know whoish plot
Wrong forum for politics...bit if it were...Trump 2020...lol...just saying
As an avid Chef John follower I literally shouted to my husband, "Guess who has a recipe for peanutbutter fudge!?" as I was walking into my bathroom. Then I realized that was maybe not the best thing to shout at that time. 😅 Sorry, Chef John. We still love you!
Alicia Williams You filthy animal, hehe!
Alicia Williams 😆😆😆
Can you make it with almond butter 🤔 ?
"FURIOUSLY CHEWS SCREEN"
lmao
😂🤣😂🤣
Is there a reason you are using unsalted butter and then adding a big pinch of salt...?
yessssss )))
Unsalted butter to me has a sweeter creamy taste, but besides the slight taste difference, by using unsalted, you can control how much salt is in the total recipe. Many recipes call for salt, but if there is butter or margarine in the recipe as well, I always use unsalted butter :)
roll each of those squares into balls and dip each most of the way into dark chocolate and call them buckeyes 😁
That's funny bc my grandmother made Buckeyes and I was just about to look for the recipe hahaha
And maybe mix in something like crushed crispy rice cereal to give those buckeyes a little crunch. Now we’re talking. :)
Buckeyes were my favorite Christmas candy as a kid!
Spatulate. Best Chef John verb ever! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
THIS is the pb fudge I love. I can’t stand when people make the cream cheese style. Fudge should melt on the tongue, be it maple, peanut butter, chocolate, whichever. The creamy fudge drives me nuts.
Jenn Righter I love fudge one of my favorite Christmas treats that and also some homemade sugar cookies 😋
@@breejames6323 OMG, yesssssssssssssss!
Avathor what the fudge?? Nice try tho 😂
Food wishes is by far the best cooking channel on TH-cam. There is no comparison. Thank you chef John for the countless recipes
that was a nice thing to say!
This is actually a part of my family's Christmas tradition that started with my grandmother on my mom's side. Now I've taken up the responsibility of making it every year. 3rd generation fudgie?
We'll be medicating these soon! Chef John, you're my hero.
Pouring the fudge on a crumbly pie crust would seem yummy I think
Oooo lawdy! Now a nice chocolate “dipping” sauce........
You are, after all, the Hugo Boss, of your dipping sauce.
masterimbecile 👏🏼👏🏼
Mmmmmmm warm butterscotch sauce!!!
That would be similar to candy my family makes called buckeyes. Sort of like a peanut butter cup, but in ball form.
instead of a dipping sauce, you could drizzle melted dark chocolate "lightly" (who am i kidding?) over the whole pan.
I am *so* excited for this. Fudge is like eating happiness.
You're easy. HaHa!
The same way that vodka is like drinking happiness. 🍸
@@ginasellers3207 that is if you're an alcoholic.....
Wonder if chocolate fudge can be made this way...???
I was here thinking he was using flour in his fudge then I realized it was just a crazy amount of sugar! 💀
I want to add chocolate to this recipe (reese's are my favorite candy) at what point in the recipe would you recommend incorporating chocolate and what adjustments would I have to make? Or should I just treat it like fondue and dip it in chocolate?
Actually I'd rather have chocolate as a separate layer.
Others have said, this fudge dipped in a hard chocolate shell makes a candy known as buckeyes.
Me, a sick freak: "I wanna make this but add bacon to it."
Actually, I bet some finely chopped candied bacon would work quite well, with a similar texture to nuts.
And......?
Peanut butter and bacon is a great combo.
idk man, some brown sugar bacon might be really good with these
I would think a maple-based version would be even better with bacon.
This is excellent fudge. I have made it twice already. If you are using Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter Creamy, I recommend 5 1/2 cups of unsifted powered sugar (instead of 4) because the peanut butter is rather runny (lots of oil). Advanced tip: 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter is the same as 1 jar of peanut butter that is 16 oz or 1 LB by weight (It is great to not have to measure the peanut butter). Tip #2: I buy the half-stick butter so the 1 1/4 of unsalted butter is especially easy to measure.
Your conversion is off. 1.5 cups of peanut butter is roughly 13.5 oz. This is probably part of why you had to add more sugar.
Mine is cooling, but seems a lil oily on top. :(
Scat comments incoming 👍
"not my grandma, but somebody's grandma"
My mom used to make this but I think she added Karo syrup, I think it kept it soft.
My grandma always made peanut butter fudge at Christmas time.
FIRST! And my grandma passed just in February, but her peanut butter fudge was rockin'. Miss her so much, but watching this video made me realize it is the same instructions she gave me as a kid, and I'm happy I wrote everything down!
Silverarc The Joker: My deepest condolences on the loss of your grandma.
@@hyggegirlstefx988 appreciate it, I really do. Just gotta remember the good times! She left me several hand written recipe books, and my GF just took a couple turns at her pumpkin roll recipe (literally, that stuff is hard to roll without practice!), so she will always be remembered. I hope you have a great weekend.
@@CS-zh2cs Thank you. I hope you and your girlfriend have a great weekend as well. I bet with a little practice the two of you can have a pumpkin roll ready for the Thanksgiving table. Your beloved grandmother is always with you.💖
I cannot find the recipe under either website. It doesnt go directly to it, and a search for Peanut Butter Fudge or even Grandma's..., pulls up nothing. What is the exact title please? I don't why it's not coming up in search. My mom used to make this for us as kids. I've made it in the past too but have lost the recipe and dont recall the exact ingredient portions. Thank you!!
@Kat Breece: Sometimes, I think there is a delay in the blog post uploading or going live. Here it is.
foodwishes.blogspot.com/2019/10/grandmas-peanut-butter-fudge-which.html?m=1
I’ve tried several peanut butter fudge recipes, and this is, hands down, the BEST! I sent a platter of it to work with my husband for his coworkers, and they all raved about it for days. Thank you for the awesome recipe!
Or, you can be lazy and make it how Mom made it in 1980 when she got a microwave. Name brand peanut butter (because you'll need those fillers for it to work.) Salted Butter -- because then you don't need to add any -- 2 sticks of store brand butter and a tsp of vanilla. Put a cup of PB and 2 sticks of butter in a large microwave safe dish and cover with plastic and poke a few holes. Nuke on high for 2 minutes, stir, nuke for 2 more minutes, then stir in 3 3/4 cups of powdered sugar. You've now made the exact same thing and invested 10 minutes.
I would try to figure out how to get chocolate in there... YUMMMMM
Got to get it in there! Just seems like something's missing. Shhh. Don't tell Chef John I said that.
Hi Chef John, if you're serious when you ask viewers what their food wishes are, I have two. First, a French Canadian fudge called "sucre a la creme". It's a white fudge. The second wish is cabbage roll casserole, rather than actual cabbage rolls. I've tried several recipes and I only got it really delicious once by accident and never wrote down proportions. As a trained chef, I image you can get proportions right.
I'm hoping you'll answer this food wish, and I keep my cayenne pepper at the ready while I wait. Thanks!
A splash of Bourbon, for an Adult version.
This looks good but I like the simple 2 ingredient recipe and it doesn't involve cooking. Just a can of vanilla frosting and a 16oz. jar of peanut butter. Mix and put in 8x8! So dam good!
My family has tried to replicate my grandmother's fudge for years. This method looks insanely easy, can't wait to give this a try this Thanksgiving.
Why wait??
@@kbree4484 I'm in college and live in a dorm, an unfortunate situation.
We have tried to replicate the coconut cake. It was more like a coffee cake in texure and indescribably coconutty and so delicious! It's been so long now, but seems the coconut may have been lightly toasted. We have never been able to find or create that cake. It's worse than the cake left out in the rain.
Purposefully vague with ingredients measurements, to force you to go to an ad filled cookery website... scummy tactics...
I’d do this with some chocolate syrup drizzled inside before I let it cool in the fridge. Marbled peanut butter fudge 😋
I wanna try this but I wanna dip them in chocolate. It'll be like a recees.
@Stevie Lee I did and it still turned out delish.
This ain't your grandma's peanut butter fudge! oh wait, it is!
OMG!! Chef John! I don't like peanut butter fudge (sorry) but I DO like you! Caught your post earliest ever. I'll watch anything you post. You got a new and grateful subscriber here! Thanks!
Though for your German friends with peanut allergies, this makes a perfect Gift!
Just pulled the cubed darlins' from the fridge and tried one... or two. Delicious. Great recipe. Thanks.
I'm wondering if I replaced the peanut butter with Nutella, would it work. Your thoughts please?
My grandma made a version of this as frosting. That on a yellow cake was my 10-year-old self's requested birthday cake.
You speak very weirdly its like your tone gets super high at first then it plums down super hard like the value of german mark in 1923
Thank you Chef John! I already got a bone in rib roast dry aging for thanksgiving your video reminded me of the holidays too : ) really needed a good peanut butter fudge recipe too!
Please do a video on penuche fudge (ok, it's not technically fudge), an old New England favorite that I can't get now that I live in Wisconsin.
Great vids, Chef John!
What communist gave this a thumbs down?
I love peanut butter fudge, but as a diabetic using about 4 cups of powder sugar is a no no. I make a sugar free version. But I love watching your videos because I always learn something and I just love your humor. Thank you for all you do. Cheers
Didn’t George Washington Caver invent this recipe?
Nossir . He invented the peanut based super computer. Common mistake, though.
Cutting is less traumatic with a food-grade wire and a slight chill,
This mans vocal delivery makes my hair stand on end !!!!!!
I don’t understand why recipes call for unsalted butter then add salt? Why can’t we use salted butter then add little or no salt?🙄
I just read "Grandmas Peanut Butter Fudge", and I'm here 😃
Instantly saw it and wanted to make it.
1St as usuall , how proud chef john
Only by 2 milliseconds. 7 others posted in the SAME SECOND !!!
My grandma made 3 ingredient fudge at the drop of a hat. No matter when or where, she always had the stuff.
It might be a “chef’s” fudge, but definitely not “grandma’s” fudge because you know they really used Jif brand of peanut butter. Also, they make chocolate fudge with velveeta. 😳
Yuck
Govt cheese if you were Indian. (Nowadays, indigenous) but we had it with sliced tomatoes and mayo on white bread.
I love this fudge with a dash of maple syrup. Not a lot, just enough to make it taste mapley. I'm one of those people who like a few drops of maple syrup on my pancakes, then a nice layer of peanut butter. Then a couple slices of crisp bacon, and another pancake on top. Chase it with some eggs, and a glass of milk. Oh man, I'm hungry now!
What’s with the constant pauses between sentences like you are asking a question
What? no cayenne pepper?? lol ;)
Level 10: 1 lb powdered sugar.
Bonus Level: Doing lines and having organized knife fights.
Chef John, thank you for the wonderful recipe! I made this today, and it tastes delicious! I'm sure my family will love it. :D
love the recipes , but the way he talks mess's with my head and not in a good way
Lol, these are sugar-butter cubes, with little peanut butter. You could ditch the sugar and butter and just blend peanuts with dates for maximum taste without any of the processed ingredients (i.e. sugar + butter). Or, use cacao beans, make homemade chocolate!
michaellustgarten.com/2014/09/21/homemade-chocolate-in-2-minutes/
Chef John learning from my boy Clive
Clives was less fuss and muss too
Is it me or is the recipe not on the blog yet?
Thank you. This is one of my favorites. Now I know how to make it and can quit paying $10 for a slice of the stuff
I do basically the same thing but in the microwave.
I will consume ALL of it
peanut butter and butter in a pot? i'm in.
Meanwhile my grandma only eats tamales that she buys from this guy in a corner and ham andwiches... the only time she eats something different is when Mom and I take her something we make. She hates cooking for herself and grandpa but oh lawd if the cats don't eat chicken or cat food she riots.
Too specidic with sugar and “some butter and peanut butter” 🤦🏻♀️!
Check the link in the description box, it’s got the full recipe.
Nice recipe Chef John. 😁😎😁😎
Now I wonder if there is a recipe for cheesecake fudge that won’t spoil if you leave it out of the fridge for long periods of time. 🤔🤔🤔
It was very cool the way the alcohol boiled off as soon as you poured the vanilla into the pot.
Dumb question but if I switched peanut butter for nutella, could it be hazel fudge?
Drew Bakka Nutella is sweetened and the recipe calls for unsweetened peanut butter so it might end up being super sweet. You could cut down on the powdered sugar, but that might affect the consistency.
Looks delicious! How should it be stored and how long would it last? I am asking in case I give it as an edible gift
Since it has so much sugar it will keep indefinitely. Although, after a few weeks it may become kind of hard and stale.
