Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Grease an 8x8-inch square pan or line it with parchment paper and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter.
Microwave the butter and peanut butter mixture on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir well to combine.
Add the vanilla extract, salt, and powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until smooth and well-incorporated. The mixture will become thick as the sugar is mixed in.
Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula to create an even layer.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours or refrigerate for 30-60 minutes until firm.
Once set, cut the fudge into 16 equal squares and serve.
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
