  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  3. Once boiling, continue to stir constantly and begin timing immediately.
  4. Boil for exactly 3 minutes, without stopping stirring.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately.
  6. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1 (10-ounce) jar marshmallow creme until completely smooth and well combined. The mixture will thicken as it cools.

  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set and firm. Cut into squares and enjoy!
