A very rich fudge with a peanut butter fudge layer and a chocolate fudge layer. This recipe combines ingredients from 2 other recipes along with a few small changes. Thanks to ESG for the Peanut Butter Fudge (#115656) and eza91804 for the 2 Minute Microwave Fudge (#43703). Note: Cooking time is the time needed to chill. Ingredients:

1 cup crunchy peanut butter |
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract |
1 lb confectioners' sugar |
1 lb confectioners' sugar |

1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup milk |
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract |
1/2 cup butter |

1. Line an 8 x 8 x 2 inch pan with waxed paper. Make sure there is a bit of overlap so you can release the fudge from the pan later.

14. Beat with a wooden spoon until smooth.
