Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and unsalted butter. Heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until melted, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning.
  3. Once melted and smooth, stir in the pure vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. The mixture will become thick and dough-like.
  5. Press the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  7. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the fudge out of the pan and place it on a cutting board.
  8. Cut the fudge into desired shapes, such as squares or rectangles.
  9. Serve and enjoy!
