peanut butter fudge

3 c sugar
1 1/2 sticks blue bonnet margarine (I am a butter believer but blue bonnet is a must unfortunately!)
5 oz can of evaporated milk (small can of full fat)

mix in a heavy pan and a rapid boil for precisely 5 minutes, stirring constantly, remove from heat and add the following:

7 oz jar of Kraft marshmallow creme
12 oz peanut butter (store brand, chunky is my favorite--no organic good stuff, just does not do it for this)
1 tsp vanilla

stir until mixed and for best results, put the pan in an ice cube water bath in the sink to help cool and thicken while mixing in the last ingredients and then pour onto waxed paper to cool.  cut in bite size pieces after completely cooled.  freezes very well for later!!

twist.......chocolate fudge.....substitute 12 oz of bitter sweet chocolate chips for the peanut butter
