How to Make Eva's Peanut Butter Fudge

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar and 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Continue boiling, without stirring, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235-240°F on a candy thermometer).
  3. Carefully remove from heat and stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup marshmallow creme, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the fudge mixture into an 8x8 inch baking pan that has been lightly greased or lined with parchment paper.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
  6. Once set, cut into 1-inch squares. Optional: Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and drizzle or spread over the top before refrigerating.
