Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and peanut butter together, stirring constantly until smooth and combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until fully incorporated after each addition. The mixture should be thick and start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Pour the chocolate frosting over the peanut butter fudge layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
