This delicious peanut butter fudge recipe came from Gloria Beckius’ mother, who received it from a friend over 40 years ago. “My mother was a wonderful cook,” said Beckius. Beckius took over the favorite fudge recipe after a stroke kept her mother from being able to make it. “Someone had to make the candy!” said Beckius.

2 cups sugar
1 small can evaporated milk
1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
