Steps:

• 1. In a meduim saucepan over a medium heat, combine both sugars, salt, cocoa, milk and cream; heat until sugar is dissolved.

• 3. Remove from heat and add peanut butter and vanilla. NOTE: Add nuts at this point if desired.
• 4. Beat the mixture until it begins to stiffen, and loses its gloss. Pour into an 9 x 9-inch pan coated with butter; allow it to completely set. NOTE: you can use an 8 x 8-inch pan for a thicker/taller fudge. Cut into 1 inch squares.
