Answer 1

Easy Peanut Butter Fudge

1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp vanilla

In a pot, bring sugar and water to a boil. Let the mixtures boil for EXACTLY one minute.
In a bowl, have the peanut butter and vanilla measured out and ready.
Pour the sugar and water into the bowl when ready, and mix well. Pour into 8x8 in greased pan.
Let cool, and enjoy!

Some notes: Don't use the natural peanut butter. I tried using Adam's Natural once and it didn't work.
You have to use the creamy peanut butter like Skippy.
Once you pour the sugar and water into the bowl with the peanut butter and vanilla,
it'll start to harden up, so work quickly.

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Fudge Squares:

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8-ounce) package semisweet chocolate squares
1 teaspoon shortening

Combine first 4 ingredients in a saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Cover and cook 3 minutes; uncover and cook, without stirring, until candy thermometer registers 236° (soft ball stage). Remove from heat; add peanut butter and vanilla.

Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until thickened; pour into a buttered 8-inch square pan. Score into 1-inch squares with a knife; cool. Cut into squares.

Dip fudge squares into chocolate mixture; place on wax paper. Garnish, if desired; let stand until firm.

Answer 3

Melt a cup of peanut butter together with 2/3 stick of margarine in the microwave. Mix that well and stir in about 2-3 cups of powdered sugar (start with 2 and add more to get a sugar cookie like consistency), then press into a glass pan. If desired top with melted chocolate chips and refrigerate to set it up.
