Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with a small amount of butter or non-stick cooking spray. Line the dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and peanut butter together, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and combined. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 4
Gradually sift and add the powdered sugar into the peanut butter mixture, one cup at a time. Stir vigorously to ensure each addition is fully incorporated. The mixture will become thick.
Step 5
Once all the powdered sugar has been mixed in, transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, press the mixture evenly into the pan.
Step 6
Smooth the top with the spatula, then let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before transferring it to the refrigerator to set for 1-2 hours.
Step 7
Once the fudge is fully set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the baking dish. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 16 equal squares or smaller bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
Step 8
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve and enjoy!
