Fudge Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Peanut Butter and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, place 1 cup peanut butter and 1/4 cup butter together, ensuring they are at room temperature for easier melting.
- Microwave and Stir: Microwave the mixture on high for 30 seconds. Remove and stir until the mixture is smooth and the butter is fully melted.
- Add Powdered Sugar and Vanilla: Stir in 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the fudge mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Pour and Spread: Grease a dish (such as an 8×8 inch pan) and pour the mixed fudge into it. Spread evenly with a spatula for uniform thickness.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set. Once firm, cut into 16 squares to serve.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture.
- If your peanut butter is too thick, warm it slightly before mixing to make blending easier.
- Make sure to grease the dish well to prevent sticking when cutting and serving.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For a variation, add chopped nuts or a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
