Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and peanut butter.
Microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir well.
Microwave for an additional 1 minute. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the bowl, stirring well after each addition until the mixture forms a thick, smooth dough.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down evenly using the back of a spatula or your hands.
Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
