Pour the chocolate fudge mixture into a buttered 9x13-inch pan and spread it evenly. Set aside and allow it to cool to room temperature.

While the chocolate layer cools, prepare the peanut butter layer: In another heavy-bottomed saucepan, repeat the process by combining sugar, butter, and evaporated milk over medium heat. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until completely smooth. Then add the marshmallow creme and vanilla, mixing well.

Carefully pour the peanut butter mixture over the cooled chocolate layer in the pan, spreading it evenly. Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature.
