Double Decker Fudge

 DOUBLE DECKER FUDGE 

12 oz peanut butter chips

4 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1 tsp. vanilla
7 oz marshmallow creme
12 oz evaporated milk

Set aside half of the peanut butter chips in a medium bowl.

Melt half of the butter in a medium bowl. Blend the melted butter, cocoa, and vanilla. Add the other half of the peanut butter chips. 

In a saucepan, combine the sugar, marshmallow creme, milk, and the rest of the butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Boil and stir 5 minutes more. Remove from heat. Immediately add half of the hot mixture (about 3 c.) to the bowl of peanut butter chips. Pour the rest into the cocoa mixture. Stir the cocoa mixture. With a different spoon or whisk, stir the peanut butter mixture until the chips are melted. Spread in a 13x9 pan and spread into an even layer. 

Whisk the cocoa mixture until the chips are melted and the mixture starts to thicken. Spread evenly over the top of the peanut butter layer.

Cool before cutting.
