hb,
That is so close to the peanut butter fudge recipe that I made today! It tastes just wonderful! It is, certainly, more work than the recipe that you just melt chips and condensed milk, but I believe that the end product justifies the effort. No doubt you could use canned evap milk for a creamier taste. I also have a similar recipe to yours for choc. fudge. I think I'll be making these. Here it is;
