Ingredients

3 cups granulated sugar
1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk (about 2/3 cup)
3/4 cup unsalted butter (12 tablespoons)
1/3 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1 (10-ounce) package peanut butter chips
1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1/4 cup salted peanuts (optional)

Instructions

Butter an 8×8-inch baking dish or spray it with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Combine the sugar, milk, and butter in a medium-sized, heavy pot and cook on medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Be sure to stir frequently.
Once it has reached the boiling point, boil for about 5 minutes. Stir constantly. Use a candy thermometer to get the mixture to the soft ball temp of 235°F.
Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter, peanut butter chips, and marshmallow creme. Stir until mixture is creamy and smooth. If using, add the chopped nuts (reserving a few to sprinkle on the top) and mix well.
Immediately pour into the prepared baking dish. Cool completely and cut as desired. Store in an airtight container.
