Tootsie Roll Fudge

Tootsie Roll Fudge

1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons butter, divided
2 cups Tootsie Roll Midgets
2 tablespoons peanut butter
3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup green and red M&M's

Line a 9-in. square pan with foil. Grease the foil with 1 teaspoon
butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, melt the Tootsie Rolls,
peanut butter and remaining butter over low heat, stirring
constantly. Gradually stir in the confectioners' sugar, milk and
vanilla (mixture will be very thick). Fold in pecans.

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.
Cool. Using foil, remove fudge from pan; cut into squares. Store in
an airtight container. Yield: about 2 pounds.
