Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Set aside.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir the mixture well to ensure the butter and peanut butter are fully combined.
Step 4
Microwave the mixture again in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and melted (approximately 2 additional minutes).
Step 5
Stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt (if using) until fully combined. The mixture will be thick, but ensure there are no lumps of powdered sugar.
Step 6
Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to press it evenly into the dish.
Step 7
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until it is firm and set.
Step 8
Once set, remove the fudge from the dish by lifting it out with the parchment paper. Cut into 16 small squares.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
