In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla extract. Microwave on high for 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth.
In a separate large saucepan, combine the powdered sugar, evaporated milk, and marshmallow creme. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Bring the sugar mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 235°F on a candy thermometer.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter mixture until well combined.
Pour the fudge mixture into a lined or greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Allow the fudge to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Cut the fudge into 48 1-inch squares and serve.
