Fail-Proof Peanut Butter Fudge

Some fudge recipes are complicated. I own a candy thermometer, but it is my goal in life to use it as little as possible. If you have a kitchen timer and can stand for a few minutes, you can make this fudge.

Fail-Proof Peanut Butter Fudge

What You'll Need: 

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 1/4 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

How to Make It: 

Put the powdered sugar in a large bowl and set aside. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and the milk, and bring to a boil. Let the mixture boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the mixture from the heat, and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla; mix everything together until the peanut butter is melted. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the powdered sugar, beat the whole mixture until it's smooth, and pour it into an 8x8 or 9x9 square pan. Chill the pan in the refrigerator until the fudge is firm, cut it into squares and serve! This fudge sets up in no time (it's ready to eat in 5-10 minutes), comes away from the pan clean and slices beautifully. It's pretty much perfect.
