Place the fudge in the fridge for about two hours or till set. Once set pull out and cut into squares.

Notes

In the peanut butter and powdered sugar process if the fudge does not get thick or is still oily add more powdered sugar by 1/4 cup at a time until it looks almost dry.

If using natural peanut butter increase the powdered sugar to 8 cups.
