Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure easy removal of the fudge later.
  2. Melt the Butter and Peanut Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butter and smooth peanut butter, stirring constantly until completely melted and smooth. Avoid overheating to keep the texture creamy.
  3. Remove from Heat and Add Vanilla and Salt: Take the pan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt evenly to enhance the flavor layers.
  4. Incorporate Powdered Sugar Gradually: Slowly sift in the powdered sugar, folding it into the peanut butter mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until fully combined and smooth. The mixture should be thick but spreadable.
  5. Transfer and Chill: Spread the fudge mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula, cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  6. Cut and Enjoy: Once set, lift the fudge from the dish using the parchment paper, cut into squares, and enjoy the creamy goodness!

Notes

  • Choose quality natural, smooth peanut butter without added sugars for best flavor and texture.
  • Sift powdered sugar before mixing to prevent lumps.
  • Melt ingredients slowly over low heat to avoid burning or separation.
  • Use fresh, unsalted butter for perfect richness without overpowering saltiness.
  • Chill properly to ensure the fudge sets well and slices cleanly.
