Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter smooth variety (e.g. Jif, Skippy)

- Pinch of fine sea salt optional
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter on high for 30 seconds, stirring to ensure it’s fully liquid.
- Add peanut butter and vanilla to the melted butter, microwave another 30 seconds, then stir until smooth.
- Gradually sift in powdered sugar, stirring until the mixture forms a soft dough-like texture.
- Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and press evenly using a spatula or parchment paper.
