Recipe: Loretta's Best Peanut Butter Fudge

Desserts - Candy, Chocolate
I found this newspaper clipping in my to-file pile. It gives credit to You're Cookin' It Country by Loretta Lynn.

Loretta's Best Peanut Butter Fudge

3 cups sugar
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
3/4 cup water
1 stick butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup smooth peanut butter

In a large bowl mix sugar and cocoa well.

In a saucepan bring water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add cocoa mixture. Cook to soft ball stage, or about 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and add butter and vanilla. Stir until butter melts. Remove pan from heat and quickly add peanut butter. Stir just until blended. Pour immediately into a greasted 9- by 9- by 2-inch baking pan. Score 1-inch squares while warm.

Let cool about 20 minutes and cut while firm.

Makes 24 squares.

The amount of cocoa looked odd to me, but I checked a couple places on the internet that also have this recipe posted and that's what they all say, 1 teaspoon cocoa powder.

Editor's note:
Thanks for sharing the recipe Micha! I checked the recipe in the book and 1 teaspoon is the correct amount of cocoa.
