Beauty and serenity is all around us, it lies in the forgotten, the hidden and the ignored - we
must look in the shadows and search if we are to be truly at ease in this world. Carly Johnson

~Ingredients~
125ml milk
110g butter
200g peanut butter
475g light brown soft sugar
425g icing sugar
1tsp vanilla extract

hob
wooden spoon
large saucepan

20x20 lined tin
fridge
knife

1.  Melt the butter in the saucepan on a medium heat.
2.  Stir in the brown sugar and the milk and bring to a rolling boil stirring frequently.
3.  Set timer, and boil for 2 minutes, continually stirring at a slow speed.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Add the icing sugar and beat until smooth.
5. Pour into tin and chill until firm.
6. Cut into chunks, et voila!

TIPS
*If you don't want tiny chips of nut in your fudge then make sure you opt for smooth peanut butter
*Make sure you use light brown sugar - I tried another batch with dark brown sugar and it tasted like bonfire toffee!
*I tried using olive spread in a chocolate version but the fudge never set completely so I ended up dipping rolled balls into chocolate.
*This recipe makes A LOT of fudge - I ended up freezing 2 thirds of it for a later date
