This recipe has it all!
Super sweet, but yummy looking and tasty.
Makes a GIGANTIC pile of fudge. This freezes well so put some away for later or make a half recipe in an 8 x 11 inch pan or 8x8 inch square pan.
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 butter
3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk)
Approx. 1 bag (10.5oz) miniature marshmallows DIVIDED (you need 3 cups for the fudge recipe and about another 1 1/2 cups for the topping, optional amount for topping)
1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or any chocolate you want to use)
8 oz sweet baking chocolate
1 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
(**NOTE I used all semi sweet chocolate chips for this, about 13 oz, 2 cups in total)
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup dry roasted peanuts (I used the salted kind because I like the salty/sweet contrast)
Line a 9x13inch pan with foil and grease it. Let foil overhang on edges so you can pick the fudge up and out after it is set.
- combine peanut butter and powdered sugar in a medium sized bowl and mix until well blended (it will be fairly dry). Shape into 24 (I suggest more maybe 35 to 40?) balls and place balls in pan.
Evenly distribute them in the bottom of the pan to have peanut butter balls in every piece of fudge you cut later.
- In large sauce pan or dutch oven heat 1/2 cup butter, granulated sugar and milk over medium high heat until the sugar is dissolved. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and boil uncovered without stirring for 3 minutes (use a timer if necessary) and then remove from heat.
-Stir in 3 cups marshmallows until melted, add chocolate chips, sweet chocolate and unsweetened chocolate stirring rapidly until all chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla.
-Pour the mixture into the pan, over top of the peanut butter balls and gently even out the fudge with a spatula if necessary, quickly sprinkle on the peanuts and remaining marshmallows and press them down gently into the fudge so they stick.
Cool completely about 1-2 hours. Lift fudge out of pan using foil and cut into squares (8 rows x 6 rows is suggested by the recipe book)
what should you use to grease the pan?

@Lawgiver19 It would be a very thin layer, but should be okay
