Peanut Butter Fudge Not Hardening

Save the fudge and don't throw it out like I did several years ago. I made two batches and both didn't harden, so not thinking I threw it away in the garbage. Save the fudge which is like frosting and use it to frost some homemade brownies.

When candy doesn't harden I've never found any way to make it right. Use it as icing or a topping for ice cream or cake.

Try heating it slightly & and adding a little more powered sugar.

Put it back in the pan and cook it longer. It has ALWAYS worked for me.

Bottle in a pretty jar, tie on an ice cream scoop and gift it as peanut butter fudge ice cream topping!

I have a fudge recipe that does not require cooking. It has peanut butter in it. It calls for powdered sugar.

Try putting some in the freezer, it may harden enough and could be eaten cold.

This one will hardened.

BIG BACH PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
INGREDIENTS

2 LB. skippy supper chunky peanut butter
4 cup sugar1
1/3 cups can milk
1 JAR cup marshmallow cream
24 OZ cocktail peanuts w/oil ( not dry roasted)
2 TSP vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS

cook milk, sugar to soft ball stage add remaining instructions beat till mixed pour into buttered 9X13X2 pan.

This very same thing happened to me last night. It sure is frustrating!! I cleaned out the jar from the marshmallow cream I had used in the recipe and poured the fudge into it to use as ice cream topping and put it in the rerigerator. I had put it back on the stove and tried to cook it a little longer but it started to get little hard bits in it.

Roll it into balls, refrigerate until cold, and dip in melted chocolate. YUM

I had a similar experience today. I have never made fudge until today, and I wanted to use an old fashioned Hershey's original fudge recipe - without marshmallow in it and without using any shortcuts. Just sugar, whole milk, butter, vanilla and cocoa. Of course, it was a damp & rainy evening - I'm always up for a challenge lol... Now since the fudge I made was cocoa based, not peanut butter I don't know if that would make a difference. Anyway, I had let it go slightly above the soft ball stage the recipe called for, but once I went to whip it it was not getting thick. Not knowing exactly what it was supposed to look like, I poured it in the pan anyway and then found that it just would not set. I even tried to set it in the freezer and when that did nothing, I took it straight from the freezer, scraped it back into a pot - this time a smaller pot than before - and brought it back up to a boil - yes, I did this even though the nuts and the vanilla had already been added.

Refrigerate it. Might help.
Or use my mother's old trick and incorporate it into something else as a filling, topping or base.

I make alot of 'Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Fudge' this time of year. I love the idea of rolling it into balls and coating in pwd. sugar or cocoa powder (truffles). Going to use that one!

How do I fix my fudge that crumbled?

I just had this happen to me but I didn't want to just throw it away so I mixed in a block of cream cheese, skinned, chopped, and mixed in a bag of apples, and then I topped it with a half a bag of miniature dark chocolate chips. Made a delicious apple salad for dessert.
