Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the fudge.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the butter, granulated sugar, evaporated milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
Boil the mixture for exactly 5 minutes, continuing to stir constantly. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in the marshmallow creme, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the peanut butter. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Pour the peanut butter mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula. Allow it to cool slightly while preparing the chocolate layer.
In a clean saucepan, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter over low heat. Stir in the chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the powdered sugar, along with the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined and glossy.
Gently pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly with a clean spatula. Work quickly as the chocolate layer sets fast.
Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Once set, remove the fudge from the baking dish and cut it into 24 squares or desired serving sizes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
