Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Grease an 8x8-inch square pan or line it with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter.
Step 3
Microwave the butter and peanut butter mixture on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract, salt, and powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until smooth and well-incorporated. The mixture will become thick as the sugar is mixed in.
Step 5
Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula to create an even layer.
Step 6
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours or refrigerate for 30-60 minutes until firm.
Step 7
Once set, cut the fudge into 16 equal squares and serve.
Step 8
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
