Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (smooth)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 3.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Microwave the peanut butter and butter mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1–2 minutes in total.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the melted mixture. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, while stirring the mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula. Continue until the mixture becomes thick and pliable.
Step 6
Once the mixture is fully combined, press it evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula or your hands.
Step 7
Smooth the surface and refrigerate the fudge for 1–2 hours, or until firm.
Step 8
Cut the fudge into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
