Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pound (about 3 ¾ cups) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prep your pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Grease lightly.
- Melt the butter and peanut butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and peanut butter, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Add vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Incorporate powdered sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until it forms a thick dough-like consistency.
- Spread and chill: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Slice and enjoy: Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into squares and serve.
Notes

- For a twist, swirl in some melted chocolate or sprinkle sea salt on top.
