MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
This recipe is so easy to make. The fudge turns out smooth and rich. Just remember to move quickly once the mixture has been microwaved, or your fudge will be difficult to turn out into the pan. I have used this recipe as a base to create many variations of fudge simply by omitting and substituting ingredients. Any way it's made, it's yummy!

Steps:
- With two tablespoons of softened butter (not melted), use clean bare hands to grease a 9-inch x 13-inch glass cake pan. Make sure to completely and evenly coat the pan.
- Place the following ingredients in an extra large microwavable glass mixing bowl in the order listed: powdered sugar, butter, cocoa, peanut butter and milk. Do not toss or mix. (Note: It is important to ensure there are no clumps in the powdered sugar, as you do not want unsightly white clumps throughout your smooth fudge.).
- Microwave on high for 2 1/2 minutes.
- Remove from microwave with oven mits and add vanilla.
- With a hand-held mixer, beat at medium-high speed until smooth.
- If desired, stir in walnuts.
- With a rubber spatula, turn out into previously greased cake pan and spread evenly.
- Chill for 1 hour or until solid.
- Cut into squares.
- Store refrigerated for up to two weeks (that is if it makes it that long!).
- VARIATIONS: Peanut Butter Fudge--omit cocoa powder, compensate for lack of dry ingredient with 2 tbs. extra powdered sugar and cook as directed. Chocolate Fudge--omit peanut butter, compensate for lack of moist ingredient with 2 extra tbs. butter and cook as directed.
MELT IN YOUR MOUTH PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
This is a recipe from JIF. I had it on hand, but assume any creamy PB would do. This stuff is heavenly! I have always been a complete failure at fudge. This recipe, because it simmers for 5 minutes is a cinch! Add food coloring for the holidays for an extra special treat!

GRANDMA'S CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
This old-fashioned style of peanut butter fudge is not that easy to find out there. The ones I tend to run across always seem to be the soft, creamy version, which is not what I'm into. If it's going to feel like peanut butter in my mouth, then what's the point? No, I want something that feels dense and firm in my fingers but will almost instantly liquefy in when it hits my tongue.

Tips:
- Use high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor. A natural, unsweetened peanut butter is a great option.
- Make sure the butter and sugar are at room temperature before you start. This will help them to cream together smoothly.
- Don't overcook the fudge. It should be cooked until it reaches a soft-ball stage, which is about 235°F (113°C).
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help it to set properly.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
