Sweet Stuff 2

Here is another idea for something sweet.

Peanut butter is very popular in Asia, but it usually is not used in sweet preparations like we have in the US. Typically you will find it as part of a spicy sauce rather than a candy. here I have posted a simple no-cook recipe that is also kid-safe.

Peanut Butter Fudge

Ingredients:

1 box (455g or 16 oz) confectioners sugar separated into 10 oz and 6 oz
1 cup (250 ml) Creamy peanut butter
1/2 pound (229 g) butter
1 teaspoon vanilla *
4 Tablespoons (2 dry ounces) cocoa powder **

*this is optional, if you do not have access to vanilla, don't worry. you can use any other flavoring you like.

**this is optional. If you do not have cocoa powder but want to make a chocolate peanut butter fudge, use 2 or 3 oz of a dark chocolate (melted) candy and eliminate the equal amount in peanut butter.


Directions:

Melt the butter. Let it cool but not harden. If it begins to harden, melt it again. Mix in peanut butter, 10oz of sugar, and cocoa (or chocolate) by hand. Pour into a greased square pan and allow to cool for 15 minutes. cut into squares and enjoy.
