Christmas Card Boxes That Are Too Pretty To Throw Away? -Fill Them With Homemade Fudge!!!!

I can't bear to just throw away
those pretty boxes that Christmas cards come in.
I hate to throw them away because
they have such "pretty" faces.
They make GREAT gift boxes filled with fudge!
I did a post about this before but some of you
may not have been following me then to see this.


THE EASIEST HOMEMADE
PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
ever. period.
I wish I could tell you where
I got the recipe but I can't remember.
So...
Drag those pretty boxes out that you have saved.

Here's how to take the box below
and turn it into a special
gift.

Open the box and line it with tin foil.
Butter the tin foil.
Then make this:
In pan over medium heat melt

2 sticks of butter
When melted stir in
1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy.

Like this.

Stir in one teaspoon REAL vanilla.

Add 2-3/4 cups CONFECTIONERY SUGAR
(not granulated)

(That old tin scoop belonged to my Mom-Good Housekeeping 1954)
I beat it quickly with a hand mixer
(it sets up fast)
and then pour it into the
buttered foil lined box.
You should get 2 or 3 boxes full-depending on box size.

Put it in the fridge to harden
and as soon as it sets up
lift it out , peel off the tinfoil
and wrap it in parchment paper.
Then wrap it with a piece
of ribbon and place it
back in the box.

I pick up spare knives all year here and there
and include one in each box. The fudge stays fresh
until they cut it.
Put the lid on and it presents
like this when opened.

Recipe:
