Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until fully liquid, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
Step 3
Add the creamy peanut butter to the melted butter and stir until completely smooth and combined.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one-half cup at a time, stirring well after each addition until no lumps remain and the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
Step 6
Transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
Step 8
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 16 equal squares.
Step 9
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
