The story behind the recipe
My granny Rogers (mom's mom) was a required taster and certainly not everyone's cup of tea but she loves me and vice versa. And her fudge was always the very best EVER! She taught me this recipe when I was 10 years old. I'm now 46 and its something I taught my daughter too. If ever my daughter Vivienne 27 becomes a parent I hope she too will share the recipe.

Ingredients
Granny Rogers Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Fudge. Only 4 ingredients and requires no candy thermometer. Ingredients • 2 cups brown sugar (packed) • 1/2 cup milk • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy) Instructions 1. Heat the base: In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar and milk. Set over low heat and stir occasionally until it reaches a soft ball stage (or simmers into a smooth, bubbling syrup). Remove from heat. 2. Mix it fast: Quickly stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter. Do not whip or beat the mixture. 3. Set and serve: It sets up very fast. Immediately spread the mixture evenly into an ungreased 9-inch square cake pan. You can cut it into squares while warm or let it cool completely.
