To reach a "foolproof" fudge recipe, Mamie Eisenhower introduced the wonderful ingredient of marshmallow creme. This was the first time that a candy thermometer was not needed to make fudge.
She transformed the skepticism of making fudge for so many. Today there is no reason to stand at your stove and check for a softball stage and wonder if you are going to have a terrific batch of fudge when you get through making it. So go ahead and get in the kitchen and make some fudge!
I used my Millionaire Fudge recipe and substituted the semi-sweet chocolate chips for the Reese's peanut butter chips.
I have been making this for the last few years, and it is my favorite Peanut Butter Fudge recipe.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER MILLIONAIRE FUDGE
- Reese's Peanut Butter Chips
- Marshmallow creme
- Sugar
- Evaporated milk
- Butter
HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER MILLIONAIRE FUDGE
- Lay a long row of waxed paper on the counter for when fudge is spooned out of the pan.
- In a mixing bowl of an electric stand mixer using the paddle attachment, add the peanut butter chips and marshmallow whip; set aside.
- In a heavy large saucepan, add sugar, milk, and butter; bring to a boil. Boil for 6 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Take off the heat and pour the mixture over the peanut butter chips and marshmallow whip, beating on medium speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Be sure not to overbeat. The mixture will set up as it cools.
- Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop fudge and lay it on prepared waxed paper. Continue until all the fudge has been scooped out of the pan. Cool completely before moving them to a container.
- I have made it with 3 (10 oz.) bags of Reese's, and it works well. It is what I had on hand.
