I grew up with my mother making lots of old fashion cooked peanut butter and chocolate fudge for Christmas. The only difference in mother's recioe is she added the butter after the softball stage, then marshmellows, peanut butter, and vanilla. Then she would fill the sink half-way with cold water, submerge the pan in (just half of the pan was in the cold water). Then she would stir until the candy cracked and was shinny. She woul quickly pour into a prepared pan and wait for it to set up. She said her grandmother made this way also. Loved seeing this old wonderful recipe in print.
