Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and smooth peanut butter.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute and then stir thoroughly. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds, if needed, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly combined.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about half a cup at a time, stirring well after each addition until fully incorporated and the mixture forms a thick dough-like consistency.
Transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing it into the corners using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once set, remove the fudge from the dish using the parchment paper and cut it into 16 even squares.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
