Ingredients

• 2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation Method

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and unsalted butter.

Microwave the mixture on high for 1–2 minutes, stopping to stir every 30 seconds, until the butter is melted and everything is smooth and well combined. Be careful not to overheat the mixture.

Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated. This will enhance the flavor and give the fudge a delicious aroma.

Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it’s firm and set. For faster setting, you can place it in the freezer for about 30–45 minutes.

Once firm, cut the fudge into small squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week—if it lasts that long!

Tips and Conclusion

For extra flair, sprinkle the top with sea salt, mini chocolate chips, or chopped nuts before refrigerating. Want a swirl effect? Drizzle melted chocolate on top and swirl it with a knife for a beautiful finish.
