The Candy I Make On Repeat…

Peanut Butter Fudge never lasts long in my house. Mr. SS has a wicked sweet tooth, which means it’s nearly impossible for me to keep this goodie around. So, that means that I make several batches of this lovely, nutty treat starting at Thanksgiving all the way through New Year. Not that I mind. This recipe is so good, so easy, and it comes together so fast that making it is a pleasure.

Enjoy,
