I’m sitting here thinking of ways to describe this fudge and all I can do is drool. Quite certain I look something like Homer Simpson when he’s thinking about donuts. So pardon my glossy-eyed look of love when I tell you that this Salted Caramel Peanut fudge is positively exquisitely pure decadence.

That perfect combination of sweet and salty paired with a satisfying crunch from the roasted peanuts. Chefs kiss! Don’t even get me started in the velvety smooth texture that practically melts in pure indulgence the mount it hits your mouth. Do I have you drooling yet?

How To Make Fudge Without A Candy Thermometer

Fudge doesn’t have to be intimidating. You don’t need a scientific candy-making thermometer and a dozen other precise kitchen gadgets. Nope. This fudge needs a handful of simple ingredients and a medium pot. No baking required.

First, make sure you grease and line the baking pan generously to allow for easy removal. Nothing worse than making friggin fantastic fudge only to have to fight to get it out of the pan. No one got time for that nonsense! So seriously…what are you waiting for…go make this fudge. Better yet….make two batches. One to show off your impressive fudge skills to your friends and family and one to hoard for yourself.
