Peanut Butter Fudge RecipesUse Grandma's Recipe For Peanut Butter Fudge Makes Delicious Old-Fashioned Candy TreatsDid you know that peanut butter was not called for in nineteenth-century recipes as it had yet to be invented? Although the "Process of Preparing Nut Meal" was patented by the Kellogg brothers in Battle Creek, Michigan, in 1895, and peanut butter was first sold as a snack food at the Universal Exposition in St. Louis, in 1904, it wasn't until the early 1920s that creamy, smooth peanut butter as we know it was first introduced. Some early peanut candy recipes did, however, call for finely chopped peanuts, an unprocessed form of peanut butter. Modern peanut butter can be substituted for the chopped peanuts in these recipes, if you wish, but the finely chopped peanuts taste delicious in the fudge. You will love the delicious treats made from these easy fudge recipes.

Caramel Peanut Candy RecipeThis simulated peanut butter fudge recipe is taken from "The Times Cook Book, No. 2" published by Times-Mirror Co., Los Angeles, in 1905.Although this old-fashioned peanut candy recipe calls for finely chopped peanuts, you may substitute crunchy peanut butter to make a tasty, chewy, fudge-like candy. Two cups granulated sugar, 1 cup chopped nuts, no water, slow fire. Put very finely chopped nuts in a greased platter or dish, 1/4 inch thick. Put sugar over slow fire -- it melts very slowly, then gets hard in lumps and melts again. When entirely free from lumps or grains, remove and pour over nuts, stirring as you pour. When cool divide in squares.  Grandma Recommends...
