Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Place a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl on your work surface.
Add the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter to the bowl.
Microwave the bowl on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir to combine. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds if the mixture isn't fully melted and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract to the melted mixture and stir well.
Gradually add the powdered sugar in batches, stirring thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy removal.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
Refrigerate the pan for 1-2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
