Last week we told you that November is Peanut Butter
Lover's Month. Well today is specifically
for Peanut Butter Fudge. I have lived a
sheltered life. I never had peanut
butter fudge until I met my husband.
Before that the only fudge I ever had was my grandmother's famous
Christmas fudge that was the best thing I ever tasted.
We have a gift shop in town that makes all type of
flavors of fudge, and when my husband and I were looking around one day, he
spied all the different types, and chose the peanut butter flavor. We purchased a block of it, and he shared it
with me. It was very creamy and peanut.

I have never made this type of fudge; I prefer to just
buy it one piece at a time. But for
those of you who like to cook, I found this recipe for you on allrecipes.com.
