Pioneer Woman Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

Ree Drummond's peanut butter fudge recipe is not only delicious but also super easy to make.
You don’t need any fancy equipment—just a saucepan and a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Really, that's it!
Keeping a close eye on the temperature of your mixture is key though, so don't think it's all easy street.
And my favorite little secret? Stirring constantly helps to achieve the perfect texture.
