Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter smooth variety (e.g. Jif, Skippy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
  • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 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.
  • Refrigerate the pan for 45 minutes (or freeze for 20 minutes) until the fudge is firm.
  • Use a warm, dry knife to slice the fudge into 16 squares and enjoy either chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Add a sprinkle of chopped roasted peanuts or a light sea salt dusting for a sweet-salty twist. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
