Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until fully liquid, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
Add the creamy peanut butter to the melted butter and stir until completely smooth and combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one-half cup at a time, stirring well after each addition until no lumps remain and the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
Transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 16 equal squares.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
