UNCOOKED FUDGE CANDY

I have only made a couple of recipes for making candy and that has been awhile. I wanted to make some fudge for the NNL Dinner Club Saturday night. 

I searched through a number of cookbooks and found several that sounded interesting. Then I picked up my from Amish and Mennonite Kitchens cookbook and turned to the Candies section. The word that immediately caught my attention was "uncooked". I knew I had to try it. 

I think most recipes for "uncooked" fudge would just say "easy".  After reading the ingredients, I still wonder why peanut butter was omitted from the title. It is a pleasant surprise when you take a bite. If you have anyone with a peanut allergy, you could always use almond butter or soy butter.
