Creamiest Peanut Butter Fudge

Wasn't ever happy with other recipes I'd found, so I kinda put one together from my Creamy Chocolate Fudge recipe. It's very simple, and oh so tasty! Can make it with or without nuts. If you make it without, it'll melt in your mouth!

• 3  cups  peanut butter chips
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1  cup  nuts, coarsely chopped (I've used hazelnuts, peanuts and even cashews..they all turned out great)
