If you are looking to add peanut butter to a fudge recipe, such as this one, I need to say any type of Peanut Butter you want to add is good. This recipe does not contain peanut butter.

Can I use sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk?

You could substitute the Sweetened Condensed milk for the evaporated milk. The fudge will be a little sweeter than it would be using the evaporated milk. You could also use heavy cream.

Be sure to keep the fudge in an airtight container. This recipe for easy fudge will last longer if it is stored in the refrigerator.

Can I double this recipe? If so, what size pan should I use?

The recipe is easily doubled. When you have doubled the ingredients and are ready to pour them into the pan, use a 9×13 pan.

How do you keep fudge from crumbling?

Be sure to use fresh ingredients. Also do not overcook the fudge, it is ready when it begins to pull away from the pan. If it is cooked longer, the fudge will likely be dry and start to crumble. The fudge must also be stored in an airtight container.
