PEANUT BUTTER CUP FUDGE

I made this fudge today it turned out well - just be sure to not overcook it. I'm going to share it with family and friends for Christmas. We're in the home stretch!

30 REESE'S Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures
1-1/2 cups sugar

2 cups (11.5-oz. pkg.) HERSHEY'S Milk Chocolate Chips

3. Remove from heat; stir in marshmallows, milk chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir until marshmallows are melted. Add peanut butter cup pieces; stir quickly to distribute candy pieces throughout mixture. Spread evenly in prepared pan.
