Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. This will make removing the fudge easier and help achieve clean edges.
  2. Melt the Butter and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and peanut butter. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between each until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
  3. Add Powdered Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually sift in the powdered sugar while stirring to keep the mixture lump-free. Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until fully combined into a thick, creamy batter.
  4. Transfer and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least two hours until firm yet still creamy.
  5. Slice and Serve: Use the parchment edges to lift the fudge out of the pan, cut into bite-sized squares, and enjoy your smooth, creamy peanut butter fudge!

Notes

  • Use softened butter at room temperature for easier melting and smoother mixing.
  • Sift powdered sugar before adding to avoid lumps and ensure a silky smooth texture.
  • Stir gently and only until combined to keep the fudge creamy and prevent graininess.
  • Allow the fudge to chill fully to achieve perfect firmness and clean slices.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container to maintain softness and flavor.
