Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a square 8x8-inch pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and smooth peanut butter.
Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl, stir well, and microwave for an additional 1 minute.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir until the butter and peanut butter are completely blended and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (if using), then gradually sift in the powdered sugar, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Mix until the powdered sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and thick.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set for at least 1 hour.
Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into 16 squares.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
