I found this in one of my women's magazines right before Thanksgiving in 1985 so I made if for the family feast.  I have been doing it every year since.  Even last year when I just celebrated with my son and his family and my SIL did the same with her children and grandchildren only due to covid.  I sent them a huge amount of fudge for their table.  My little great-nephew commented he sure was going to miss my fudge since I would not be there.  His grandmother (my SIL) said to him "go look on the dessert table".   Screams of joy erupted and my heart soared when I heard about it.  I have seen the recipe updated over the years for microwaving instead of stovetop, but I am old school and believe in boiling and then beating my fudge by hand the way my Mom did her's when I was a child.  Happy Thanksgiving.

DOUBLE DECKER FUDGE

• 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup butter (no substitutes), divided
• 4-1/2 cups sugar
• 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk

• 2 cups peanut butter chips, divided
• 1/2 cup baking cocoa
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1. Line a 9-in. square pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, marshmallow creme and 1/4 cup butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a rapid boil; boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
• 2. Pour 3 cups of hot mixture into a bowl; add 1 cup peanut butter chips. stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Pour into prepared pan. To the remaining hot mixture, add cocoa, vanilla, and remaining chips and butter; stir until chips and butter are melted and mixture is smooth. Pour evenly over peanut butter layer in pan. Cool. Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Cut into 1-in. squares. Refrigerate in airtight containers. Yield: 3-1/2 pounds.
