Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and set it aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the peanut butter to the melted butter and stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, stirring well after each addition until the mixture forms a thick and smooth fudge batter.
Press the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 16 squares or desired serving sizes.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
