Chocolate Frosted Peanut Butter Fudge

2 cup sugar
3 tablespoon butter
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 jar (12 oz.) chunk-style peanut butter (1 1/3 cup )
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup finely chopped salted peanuts
1 pkg. (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate pieces

In a heavy 2 quart saucepan, combine sugar, butter and evaporated milk. Stirring constantly, bring mixture to a full rolling boil over medium heat. Continue cooking and stirring 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add marshmallows, peanut butter, vanilla and 1/2 cup of the chopped peanuts.

Stir vigorously until marshmallows and peanut butter are melted and mixture blended. Turn into a buttered 8-inch square pan. Cool a few minutes until top "sets". Sprinkle chocolate over top. Let stand until chocolate melts, then spread over fudge with a spatula. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup chopped peanuts over chocolate and press in lightly. Cool, then cut into 1-inch squares. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Makes approximately 2 1/2 pounds fudge.
