Ingredients

1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup butter, divided
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butterscotch chips
1/3 cup peanut butter chips
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Line a 9-in. square pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside.
Cube remaining butter and place in a large heavy saucepan. Add the sugar, milk and salt; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a rapid boil; boil for 5 minutes or until a candy thermometer reads 230°, stirring constantly.
Remove from the heat; stir in chips until melted. Stir in the marshmallow creme, peanut butter and vanilla until blended. Pour into prepared pan; refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.
Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Gently peel off foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 81 pieces.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.

I made this for a family get togther and everyone loved it. They were nibbling on fudge before the main course. I love peanut butter anything and this just was easy and set up nicely. It was soft but not too soft and was not sugary or crumbly.
