Here is the Famous Peanut Butter Fudge recipe everyone has enjoyed for many years. It can finally be published: Sadie’s Famous Peanut Butter Fudge.

Mix together 4 cups of sugar in a heavy saucepan, 1 can of evaporated milk, 1 stick of butter, continuously stir on medium heat until you can form a soft ball (once starts to boil about 8 min) remove from heat add 1 T. vanilla, a pinch of salt and about 2 cups of peanut butter (one small jar) then mix until your arm hurts. Mom always said to the kids as she was poured into the pan “It was made with love”. Pour in 9×11 buttered dish, and cool before cutting. Share and Enjoy.

A memorial fund will be established.
