CREAMIEST PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE EVER

This is the creamiest peanut butter fudge that I ever did have the pleasure of meeting up with. I took a whole plate of my homemade Christmas goodies to one of my neighbors and the lady of the house went right for the fudge. There were four pieces of fudge on the plate and after the first piece she took another, ate it, then took the third piece and was rolling her eyes around and uuhhing and aahhhing and then looked over at her husband who was watching her and said, "if you want that last piece you had better put it in your mouth." I wanted to roll on the floor laughing but I held my composure. So if you want to make someone happy who loves peanut butter fudge be sure and try this recipe. It is easy to make and a real keeper.

                 
2 1/2 sticks real butter (10 oz.)
1 1/4 cups smooth peanut butter
pinch of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted

Butter an 8-inch square baking dish. In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and peanut butter together and when it comes to boil let it boil for 1 minute then remove from heat. Add salt and vanilla, stir in powdered sugar until smooth and fudge begins to leave the size of the pan. Pour into dish and smooth the top with the back of a wooden spoon. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly over the fudge and refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour. Cut into squares and return to refrigerator to store. 

COOKS NOTE: Have all of the ingredients ready prior to making the fudge so that everything goes smooth as silk.
