Peanut Butterscotch Fudge!

This "Peanut Butterscotch Fudge" is a little different twist on fudge.  If you love the taste of old fashioned butterscotch, you will love this fudge.  It's easy to make and practically fail proof.   If you have any seniors in your life, grandparents, parents, neighbors and such, many of them love butterscotch and might enjoy a tin of this fudge for Christmas. If they have problems with the nuts, just leave the chopped nuts out  and use creamy peanut butter and it's still delicious.

This is what you will need for this butterscotch fudge:

1 pkg. butterscotch chips (11oz.)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.)
2 cups miniature marshmallows
2/3 cup chunky peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tsp. corn syrup
1 cup salted peanuts, chopped

Pour into an 8 or 9 inch square dish that has been lined with wax paper.
If you are sprinkling with the additional cup of chopped peanuts, add them now.
