Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup smooth peanut butter
• 4 cups powdered sugar (also known as confectioners' sugar)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the fudge later. Lightly grease the paper or foil with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Once the butter is fully melted, add the smooth peanut butter to the pan. Stir constantly until the mixture is fully combined and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Using a sifter or fine-mesh sieve, gradually add the powdered sugar to the saucepan, stirring after each addition. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth, thick, and free of lumps.

Step 6

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until set. For quicker cooling, place the pan in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Once the fudge has fully set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper or foil overhang. Cut the fudge into 16 squares with a sharp knife.

Step 9

Store the peanut butter fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
