Fudge is great, and when you add peanut butter to the mix, the result is almost out of this world.

Peanut-Butter Fudge

2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup milk

1¼ pounds peanut butter

1½ teaspoons butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

In heavy saucepan, bring sugars and milk to boil. Cook as high as possible for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally and watching so that it does not boil over. Remove from heat. Add peanut butter, butter and vanilla. Stir to combine and mix until fudge begins to thicken. Turn mixture into buttered 8-by-8-inch pan; use spatula to smooth top. Score with sharp knife into 1-inch squares. Cool. When cool, cut into squares. Can be stored for 2 weeks in tightly covered container with foil or wax paper between layers.

Yield: Serves 30.
