Peanut Butter Fudge

This is something which I make from time to time and all the family just love it! It is sweet, delicious and successful. I make it in my microwave, which means that you don't have to stand stirring over a pan of hot sweet liquid...!
It makes a great gift and if you are nifty with pretty wrappings, then you will find that whoever is on the receiving end truly appreciates a homemade and wrapped gift... surely that has to be worth a try...?

WARNING.....OF COURSE.......THIS RECIPE CONTAINS PEANUTS.....!!!
