"Peanut butter fudge made with mini marshmallows is smooth, creamy, and not too overwhelmingly peanut butter flavored. It’s a great addition to your holiday baking, but it’s also perfect for any time of the year. An 8x8 pan makes 64 pieces of fudge, so it’s also a great option for sharing with friends and family."

Step 1
Line an 8x8 pan with foil or parchment, allowing some to hang over the edges for easy removal later

In a heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the half and half, sugar, salt and butter. Heat over medium, stirring until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
Step 3
Continue heating until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil (bubbles over the top of the entire surface)
Step 4
Continue to boil for 8-10 minutes, stirring VERY occasionally to prevent sticking/burning until a candy thermometer reads between 234F and 236F.
Step 5
Immediately remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the marshmallows, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Step 6
Pour the fudge out into the lined pan, and allow it to cool overnight or for at least 4 hours before cutting into 1 inch squares.
