Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3.5 cups powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Prepare an 8x8-inch square pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and peanut butter together, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

Step 3

Once the mixture is smooth and fully combined, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, stirring well after each addition until the mixture is thick and smooth.

Step 5

Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm to the touch.

Step 7

Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut it into 1-inch squares using a sharp knife.

Step 8

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
