Peanut Butter Fudge

Peanut butter fudge is a soft, rich candy made from sugar, peanut butter and milk. Recipes are based on a crunchy or smooth peanut butter, marshmallow cream, marshmallows or corn syrup. There are recipes that don't require cooking, but most are made over the stove.

1. Combine 4 cups of sugar, a 12 ounce can of evaporated milk, 1 cup butter and a pinch of salt in a sauce pan over medium heat. Heat until the candy reaches the soft ball stage or 234 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer.
2. Quickly stir in a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and a 7 ounce jar of marshmallow cream.
3. Spread into a greased 9 by 13 inch baking pan and allow to cool to room temperature before cutting.
