Fast Peanut Butter Fudge

2 c Sugar

1 c Peanut butter

1 ts Vanilla extract

3 tb Cocoa (optional)

Mix sugar, 1/2 cup water, and optional cocoa in a saucepan, and boil rapidly for exactly one minute. Pour over peanut butter and vanilla in a bowl, and beat until thick. Pour into buttered pan and allow to cool. Cut into squares. This recipe starts out as peanut-butter fudge, but with the addition of powdered cocoa, can apparently been engineered to be chocolate. I`ve not tried the cholocate variation, but the basic pb is so good and so easy that its certainly worth the try...
