Peanut Butter Fudge Day

In the South, fudge is a Christmas tradition. Peanut butter fudge is the king of Southern fudge. It is made with peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. It is sweet enough to hurt your teeth. It is dense enough to stand on its own. It is not trying to be fancy. It is trying to be the best thing in your grandmother's kitchen, and it is winning.
