How to Make Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, milk, salt, and vanilla extract.
Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
Continue to boil, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until a small amount of the mixture forms a firm ball when dropped into a glass of ice water (the soft-ball stage).
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the butter and peanut butter until completely melted and smooth.
Pour the fudge mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares.
