I have been searching for an easy pb fudge recipe. Thanks for sharing! I made two different pb fudge recipes today and ended up tossing both in the trash. I hate to waste ingredients! This is a great easy recipe and I will make it again.

I have a friend who makes peanut butter fudge, and he tells me there is very fine line between success and failure with this treat. Sounds like he was right.

What is 10X sugar??? Other than that I have the ingredients, just need to know what that is. Thanks!

 

[Maverick2272]

Anybody? Did she mean 10oz of sugar?

 

[pdswife]

does the ox refer to the size of the sugar... white sugar or powdered?

I think she must mean powdered... regular white sugar wouldn't disolve and the fudge wouldn't be soft and smooth?

 

[Maverick2272]

I have no idea, but I want to make this tomorrow and I am not that familiar with fudge.

 

[pdswife]

I'm pretty sure she means one box of powdered sugar...

 

[Maverick2272]

So if I go to the store, they will have a box of powdered sugar I can buy... that will be how big? I mean, for this recipe how much do I use?

 

[pdswife]

I believe it comes in 1lb boxes or 16 oz

Can anyone else help Mavrick incase I"m wrong?

 

[Maverick2272]

Based on what you said, I looked up 10x sugar. Turns out it is different from powdered or confectioners sugar in that it has no corn starch in it and is not as fine as powdered sugar.
So, I am thinking this is something I would have to get at a specialty store.

 

[pdswife]

well...I tried! lol.! Good luck and enjoy your treat! It does sound good.

 

[Maverick2272]

I just wonder what would happen if I tried making it with the powdered sugar I have now, LOL.
Thanks anyway!!

 

[pdswife]

I think it would work! lol!!!

I AM SOOOOO SORRY I did NOT see this thread sooner, Yes, it is Powdered sugar. I do not know why it is also referred to as 10x.?? The recipe is very simple, hope you enjoy and again, My apologies for not seeing the post.

Mav, the "X" on the bag/package means how many times the sugar has been ground. The more Xs, the finer the sugar.

I still feel like a dork, LOL. I looked it up on the Internet which is how I found out what the 'x' meant, I just didn't realize it was what I had in the cupboard all along!

Just finished making it, and it is in the fridge now chilling. I started to put it together and it became lumpy so I got out my hand mixer. That whipped it right up! The beaters tasted yummy, LOL!
Thanks again for the recipe!
