When it comes to a rolling boil, start testing for soft-ball stage in about 3-4 minutes (soft-ball stage is to take a drop of the boiling contents and drop it into a cool cup of water and be able to pick up the drop with your fingers).

When the soft-ball stage is ready, add peanut butter, vanilla, and salt.

Optional: Stir until it is cool and then pour into a buttered 9x12-inch pan or alternatively, just pour immediately into the pan.
