Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, allowing some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the lining with non-stick spray or butter.
In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent overheating.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and immediately stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. The mixture will become thick and fudge-like.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper or foil overhang. Cut into 16 equal squares.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
