Cocoa Peanut Butter Fudge
you have had cocoa fudge, and you may have had peanut butter fudge.  But here is the marriage of these two recipes, for a delightful result!  Similar to a Reese cup, but much easier to make! They used to serve a similar recipe in my grammar school lunchroom, which is what started my search for this recipe.  Not exactly the same, but very similar.

Ingredients:
1 cup chunky peanut butter,
PLUS 3 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
1 cup salted butter, no substitutes
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoon vanilla
Directions:
In a saucepan, combine peanut butter and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until blended. Remove from the heat; stir in powdered sugar and vanilla.

Spread into a buttered 8" square pan. Freeze for 30 minutes or just until firm before cutting into squares. Store at room temperature
