Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup smooth, natural peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge once set.
  2. Melt the Butter and Peanut Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the peanut butter and stir consistently until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, taking care not to overheat or burn it.
  3. Remove From Heat and Add Sugar and Vanilla: Take the pan off the heat and immediately sift in the powdered sugar to avoid lumps. Add the vanilla extract and salt, then stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Transfer and Smooth: Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly. Smooth the surface for a beautiful finish and add any desired toppings or swirls.
  5. Chill Until Firm: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is set completely. Once firm, lift it out using the overhanging paper and cut into squares.

Notes

  • Use fresh peanut butter and powdered sugar for best texture and flavor.
  • Sift powdered sugar before adding to avoid lumps and ensure smoothness.
  • Melt butter and peanut butter gently at low heat to prevent scorching.
  • Allow fudge to chill completely for clean cuts and perfect firmness.
  • Let fudge sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to enhance its creaminess.
