Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides to make it easier to lift the fudge out later.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture for 30-60 seconds, or until both are soft and mixable. Stir until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt (if using) until well combined.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring thoroughly after each addition until the mixture thickens and forms a dough-like consistency.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 1-2 hours or until firm.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 16 squares or desired shapes.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
