Peanut Butter Fudge

In theory, a good recipe, but it needs tweaking. 1) WAY too much sugar. I'd reduced it to 2.5 cups and it was still too much. Will try it next time with 2 cups, maybe even 1.75 cups 2) Replaced the margarine with butter - tastes so much richer! 3) Vanilla MUST be added to the hot syrup mixture before the chocolate chips/peanut butter otherwise it won't mix in with all that butter/oil. You'll ruin your fudge (like I did) if you add it at the end. 4) Make sure your peanut butter is room temperature and mixed really well before you add it to the hot syrup mixture or else it'll stay really lumpy. 5) When adding the syrup mixture to the chocolate chips (or vice versa) start mixing right away - the syrup is really hot and it could burn (and therefore ruin) the chocolate. 6) Throw the chocolate base in the fridge after you've poured it into the greased pan - the peanut butter mixture will go on much easier (and without melting into the choclate).
