Peanut Butter Fudge #Holiday #Recipe Plus the Easiest Fudge Ever

To prepare for a friend's cookie exchange, I made a couple of kinds of candy. This peanut butter fudge is amazingly simple and always a hit. You can use water instead of milk to make it dairy-free. (Some marshmallows are vegan and others aren't – check the label.)
Peanut Butter Fudge
2 cups sugar1/4 cup butter or margarine1/2  cup milk10 large marshmallows1 cup peanut butter3/4 teaspoon vanilla
Mix sugar, butter/margarine and milk in pot. Bring to a boil. Cook 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat. 
Stir in the marshmallows. Stir well until they combine. If necessary, turn the heat on low for a minute to help them dissolve.
Blend in the peanut butter and vanilla. Pour into a buttered eight by eight inch pan and cool.
While I'm at it, here is the easiest ever fudge recipe. To think I used to stand by the stove for an hour, with a candy thermometer.
