Kate of Kate's Recipe Box invited the Festive Foodies to join her in celebrating National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. Though peanut butter and jelly isn't normally a combination that I make, I jumped in.

PB & Marionberry J Fudge
Technically, the 'J' in my title is for marionberry jam, not jelly. Whoops. I didn't have time to remake it and it was perfect as is. Really. And, while I typically make fudge with condensed milk, I decided to try a different process.
Ingredients makes an 8" x 8" pan
- 1 C butter
- 1 C peanut butter (I like Justin's, just be sure to stir the oil in before you use it)
- 1 t pure vanilla extract
- 3-1/2 C organic powdered sugar, sifted
- jam or jelly (I used marionberry jam)
- Also needed parchment paper
Procedure
Line an 8" x 8" square pan with parchment paper leaving a slight
overhang.
Combine the butter and peanut butter in a medium saucepan. Heat over low-medium heat until the butter is melted. Whisk until smooth.
Using a wooden spoon, stir in vanilla and powdered sugar
until combined and thickened.
Spread evenly in the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and spread a thin layer of jam over the top.
Allow to set for about an hour in the fridge before serving. Longer is fine, too.
Lift fudge out from pan using the parchment overhang and slice into 1" pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up
to a week.
This recipe sounds delicious Cam and I love how easy it is.
