Directions
-
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or heavy-duty aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
-
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and pourable. Set aside.
-
In a separate medium bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the remaining 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until completely melted and smooth.
-
In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and evaporated milk. Stir to combine.
-
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low and continue boiling without stirring for exactly 4 minutes, or until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (234&# 194;°F (112ðC) (116ðC)to 240ðF) on a candy thermometer.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat. Immediately stir in the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
-
Pour the hot sugar mixture into the prepared pan. Quickly pour the peanut butter mixture over half of the sugar base and the chocolate mixture over the other half.
-
Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the two colors together to create a ribbon effect. Do not overmix, or the colors will blend into brown.
-
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until completely set and firm.
-
Lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into 25 equal squares using a sharp knife.
