AUNT HANNAH'S FOOLPROOF PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
Creamy. Soft. Peanut Buttery. My sister-in-law gave me this recipe nearly 30 years ago, and my family and friends have insisted that I make multiple batches of it during the Holidays ever since. They've been known to monitor the amount they each receive in goodie packages, and to actually fight over it. I usually omit the nuts, so that the creamy, melt in your mouth texture isn't hindered.

Steps:
- Lightly butter or grease a 13x9 pan; set aside.
- Measure out peanut butter, marshmallow creme and vanilla onto a large, lightly buttered or greased plate; set aside.
- Place evaporated milk and sugar into a large heavy pot; stir until combined. Add butter or margarine and salt.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring; adjust heat until a consistent medium-boil is achieved. (You need to lower the heat if the bubbles are popping and spurting dangerously close to your hand while stirring.).
- Boil 12 minutes (more or less), stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat; quickly add remaining ingredients and beat by hand until thoroughly combined.
- Pour into prepared pan. Let cool. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Note for subsequent batches: If your batch is less firm than you'd like, increase cooking time a minute or so. If it's too firm, or becomes dry or crystal-ly when cooled, decrease cooking time or add more peanut butter.

FOOLPROOF FUDGE
This is my wife's fudge recipe, and she's been making it as long as I have known her. The unsweetened chocolate is my idea, but she prefers it without. I like the more bitter flavor. Prep time does not include time to cool and set.

Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching.
- Make sure the mixture reaches a soft-ball stage (235°F) before removing it from the heat.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Stir the mixture constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch pan and let it cool completely before cutting it into squares.
- For a creamier fudge, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream along with the vanilla extract.
- For a peanut butter fudge with a stronger peanut butter flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
- Toppings for peanut butter fudge can include chopped peanuts, chocolate chips, or sea salt.
