Every year as far back as I can remember, Grandma Durham made her family famous fudge for Christmas. We all knew that we would get some fudge as a gift in a little crystal or plastic dish depending on if you were a boy or girl. For the past few years Grandma has been in a nursing home and we have missed her wonderful touch at Christmas. This past year she passed away and joined my Grandpa Durham, my Mama and my Daddy in Heaven.
My brother called me after she passed and asked if I had her fudge recipe. I did not. However, my Aunt Sandy did and I am able to pass that recipe on to my nieces and nephews. Below is her famous family fudge recipe. Enjoy!
4 C sugar
1 C cocoa
1 C milk
1 stick of oleo (butter)
1 tsp vanilla
2 T peanut butter
Mix all ingredients into a pan and cook at low heat until simmer.
Turn it up to medium heat until it forms a small ball, about 45 minutes. (You can also use a candy thermometer to make it easier.)
Beat it until it thickens, About 5 to 6 minutes.
Pour into a 13 x 9 buttered pan and let cool.
