Ingredients
  

  • 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
  • 4 cups sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
  • 1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow creme

Instructions
 

  • Line a 13x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper OR grease with cooking spray.
  • Place evaporated milk, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook until mixture reaches 235°F on a candy thermometer, about 8–12 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and marshmallow creme until completely smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Allow to cool completely before cutting into 1-inch squares. It will take about 4 hours at room temperature or 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Notes

Tips for getting clean cuts: run a sharp knife under hot water, then wipe clean with a kitchen towel. Slice the fudge, repeating the process as necessary when the knife gets dirty. 
Storage: if you like a softer fudge, keep it at room temperature. If you prefer a more firm fudge, store it in the refrigerator. Either way, keep it in a covered dish and place pieces of wax paper or parchment paper in between layers to prevent sticking. 
Freezing: the fudge can be frozen for up to 3 months.
