Steps:
- Combine the butter and peanut butter in a 4-quart microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 2 minutes on high. Stir and microwave on high for 2 more minutes. (Use caution when removing this mixture from the microwave, it will be very hot.) Add the vanilla and powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and stir to combine with a wooden spoon. The mixture will become hard to stir and lose its sheen. Spread into a buttered 8 by 8-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Fold the excess parchment paper so it covers the surface of the fudge and refrigerate until cool, about 2 hours. Cut into 1-inch pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

EASY PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
A simple peanut butter fudge. No thermometers needed, just a timer. The original recipe called for 2 cups of light brown sugar; I didn't have any, so I used part dark brown and part white. Do NOT try to use "natural," "organic," unsweetened or salt-free peanut butter for this, it will fail. If you like sweet-salty things (as I do), use salted peanuts on top; if you don't, unsalted will work fine. Adapted from CHOW - http://bit.ly/19a9OLj

Steps:
- Cut a 22" piece of parchment paper. Fold the long sides of the sheet in to make an 8" wide strip. Butter an 8"x8" square dish. Place the parchment paper into the dish with the folds underneath, creasing the corners well to make a clean edge. Butter the parchment lightly and set aside.
- Melt 4 tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When fully melted, add vanilla, brown sugar, white sugar and cream. Stir well. Bring to a full rolling boil. Once it boils, stir constantly for exactly two minutes (use a timer). Add the peanut butter and stir until melted and completely smooth. Remove from heat and let cool exactly 5 minutes (use a timer). It will form a skin; that's okay.
- Scrape the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Start on medium-low (speed 2), and add the pre-sifted powdered sugar one large spoonful at a time. When it is all incorporated, the fudge should look slightly curdled.
- Turn the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle chopped peanuts evenly over the top. Fold over the ends of the parchment, then use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to press the peanuts into the fudge and form a layer of even thickness. Unfold the parchment and let cool to room temperature, at least 2 hours.
- When cool, lift the ends of the parchment straight up to remove the fudge from the pan. Using a long knife, cut the fudge into 64 pieces (8 slices one way, then 8 the other way). Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For best flavor, return to room temperature before eating.
