I made this and would like to say it is smooth, creamy and delicious just as most reviews claimed! I want to add this to my review: I just made a double recipe of this and realized that the first time I made this fudge I removed the pan from the burner before I added the cornstarch mixture when you are supposed to add it while it's still on the burner and then remove it from the heat. It turned out ok the first time as my son begged me to make more today. I have just been scraping the pan and can tell its even better and was so much easier to spread out. Maybe this could help someone to know?

This was my first try at making fudge of any sort. The fact that this batch turned out great tells me the recipe is a keeper -- I followed it exactly as written (I had no expertise to fall back on for altering it in any manner). Very peanut buttery taste, creamy texture. No grit. Excellent! Novices don't be frightened off. Just grab a candy thermometer and get started!

microwave! Put brown sugar, butter and milk in a large bowl and stir. Microwave 3 min. on HI. Stir. Microwave 3 more min. on HI. Stir. Microwave 2 min. on HI. While in for the last 2 minutes, stir the cornstarch into water to dissolve. When the very hot, bubbly mixture comes out of the microwave, immediately stir in the cornstarch mixture, vanilla and peanut butter. Stir QUICKLY (it sets up really quick) and pour into a foil lined 8 x 8 pan. --Cathy

The taste is delicious, but it was drying out and beginning to harden before I got the vanilla and PB mixed in. Next time I think I will put the cornstarch and water in with the milk, b utter, sugar, and then add the PB and vanilla when I remove it from the stove.

Very good! I was worried that it looked a bit dry when I was spreading it in the pan, but it turned out great! The kids really go for this.

I can die happy. This is the perfect peanut butter fudge recipe - smooth (not grainy) and just the right amount of sugar.

Excellent. I don't know how anyone can eat that marshmallow gunk when you can so easily make real fudge. :) Someone commented theirs came out gritty. As long as you get to the softball stage that won't happen.

very good recipe. used a meat probe thermometer set to 234*, mixed 1/2 tsp cornstarch into the vanilla instead of water. kept stirring to a minimum after boiling to avoid it turning grainy. so good! will never make with marshmallow creme again!!
