Steps:
- Butter a shallow baking dish or cookie sheet generously, and set aside.
- In a cast-iron pot or heavy saucepan, stir together the sugar and milk. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the peanut butter until smooth, then stir in the vanilla. Pour onto the prepared pan, and refrigerate for about 45 minutes. Break into pieces when cooled.

DAD'S FUDGE
Years ago (possibly before I was even born), Dad decided that since he couldn't find a fudge recipe that incorporated the best of all of his favorite features to create his own recipe. This recipe is in response to a request on the boards. I made it today (twice to get the cooking directions written down for 'Zaar) in an attempt to accurately convey the directions, which have always been second nature to Mom and myself, but obviously would be inadequate to someone who had never seen it made. Initially, after discussing this with Mom, I planned to include candy thermometer directions, but after Dad's terminology with respect to candy thermometer terminology (my first batch today), I decided the traditional 'cold water test' we've always used would be best. Cook time does not include time to toast the nuts and is only approximate time of boiling the fudge. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as the 'menfolk' in our family do--they can't stop eating this stuff...lol. If you reduce the cooking time to barely holding its form in the cold water test, it will make a delicious fudge frosting as well. Makes 1 8inch square or 8-inch round baking pan.

Steps:
- Before beginning to cook fudge, be sure to have an 8-inch square or round baking dish buttered (do not use non-stick cooking spray).
- Have hand held electric mixer set up and ready to use.
- Have butter, vanilla and nuts measured and ready to add.
- If you wish to have the nuts in the fudge, toast them in the oven at 350 deg F for 10 minutes shaking after the first 5 minutes.
- Set nuts aside to cool.
- Measure sugar, cocoa and salt into a 4-quart heavy bottom saucepan (I use either my aluminum-clad or copper-clad stainless steel dutch oven).
- Note: If the saucepan is smaller than this you will need to reduce the recipe or it will boil over!
- Blend together dry ingredients in saucepan, then add the milk, stirring until blended.
- Bring to a rolling boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Note: If mixture is spattering out of pan, reduce heat slightly.
- (Because of spattering, I like to use my long handled wooden spoons.) Boil until mixture forms a soft ball when tested in cold water.
- Remove from heat.
- Immediately add butter, vanilla and toasted nuts, if desired.
- Beat at high speed with electric hand-mixer until fudge begins to stiffen.
- Quickly, dump into prepared, buttered pan scraping sides of saucepan and spread evenly.
- Fudge will lose its gloss during this last step.
- While still warm, cut into desired servings.
- Garnish the top of each serving with a whole nut meats if desired.
- Attention: If the stiffening and loss of gloss occur simultaneously you have overcooked it.
- All is not lost, return to saucepan, add an additional tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons milk and melt until smooth over medium heat (fudge will still be edible, but will be somewhat sugary if this becomes necessary).

MY DAD'S FUDGE
My dad was not a cook but he did have a sweet tooth and loved chocolate! This was his recipe and when we were teens we learned to make it. If you only boil it, (oh, no- I don't remember how long), 3 - 5 minutes?, you can use it as a quick and simple hot fudge sauce over ice cream. Yum.
