Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3.5 cups powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal, and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the butter and peanut butter are completely melted and smooth.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition until the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
Step 6
Transfer the peanut butter mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
Step 8
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into 16 squares.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
