Directions
- Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until well combined and the mixture forms a thick dough.

- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm and set.
- Once chilled, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into squares or desired shapes.
