Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
2 cups Tootsie Roll Midgees
2 tablespoons peanut butter
3-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1/3 cup plain M&M's (optional)

Steps:

Line a 9-in. square pan with nonstick foil. In a heavy saucepan, melt the Tootsie Rolls, peanut butter and butter over low heat, stirring constantly until Tootsie Rolls are melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Alternately stir in the confectioners' sugar (1/4 cup at a time) and milk. The mixture will be VERY thick. Fold in pecans if desired. Spread into prepared pan. Using a sharp knife, score the surface into 1-in. squares. Press a M&M's candy into the center of each square while warm (not hot). Allow to cool. Using foil, remove fudge from pan; cut into squares. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
