Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3.5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal, and set aside.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the butter and peanut butter are completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition until the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
Transfer the peanut butter mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into 16 squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
