Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

Stir in peanut butter and vanilla; blend well. Pour over confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth; pour into an 15" x 10" inch dish.

Chill until firm (60-90 minutes) and cut into squares.

Tips:
- Lining the cooling pan with wax/parchment paper makes it very easy to just lift the fudge out at the end.
- Using the 15x10 pan makes fudge 3/4 to 1" tall. If you want taller pieces, use a smaller pan. If you'll be using small cookie cutters, use a larger pan.
