Prepare your containers by lightly spraying the inside with Pam butter flavored spray.

Use a thick-bottomed stainless steel pot for better results when making fudge.

Pour 5 oz of evaporated milk into the pot.

Add 34 cups (1 and 1/2 sticks) of butter or margarine to the pot.

Add 3 cups of sugar to the pot.

Cook the mixture on medium heat until it comes to a rolling boil, stirring with a wooden spoon.

Once boiling, monitor the temperature with a candy thermometer until it reaches 234°F, which may take about 4 minutes.

After reaching 234°F, turn off the heat and quickly add 1 cup of peanut butter and 7 oz of marshmallow cream to the pot.

Stir the mixture until the peanut butter and marshmallow cream are fully melted and combined, adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared containers or a 9-inch square pan while it's still hot.

If desired, add toppings like Reese's Pieces immediately after pouring the fudge into the containers.
