Before starting to cook the Peanut Butter Fudge I greased an 8 x 8 inch baking pan.  So you do not have to invert it later you could also line the pan with a parchment paper sling.

Then I placed a medium sized sauce pan on the stove, added a half pound of butter and turned the heat to medium.

Next I measured in some evaporated milk and brown sugar.

I occasionally stirred these ingredients together until the butter had melted.  Once the butter melted I stirred it continuously until it started to bubble.

When it started to bubble I stopped stirring and allowed it to boil for 6 minutes.

After 6 minutes I removed the fudge from the heat and poured it into a large Pyrex measuring cup.

Then I dumped in some peanut butter and gave a quick stir.

Next I gradually added in 3 cups of icing sugar while I continued stirring.

I stopped stirring once the icing sugar was fully integrated into the fudge.  Crush as many icing sugar lumps as you can if you have not sifted it first.

Next I scraped the hot fudge into a greased 8 x 8 inch baking pan. 

Then I pressed some mini Reese’s Pieces down into the fudge.

Once the fudge was hard I inverted it onto a cutting board.  I flipped it again so the candy was on the top.

You could also line the baking pan with parchment paper as a sling and lift the fudge out so no candy falls off.

I used a very sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares.

Peanut Butter Fudge is a smooth, creamy dessert that will melt in your mouth. 

 It will be hard to eat just one piece!
