Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter, I use Jiff. Note: I do not recommend using 'natural' peanut butter.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 lb confectioner's sugar, about 3 1/2 cups
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper or foil. Note: you can use a 9x9 pan, or even a loaf pan.
- Using a heavy bottomed saucepan melt the butter and peanut butter together over medium heat. Stir constantly to get the mixture well combined.
- Turn the heat down to low and stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Fold in the sugar with a silicone spatula or spoon. Make sure to get all the sugar incorporated and the fudge nice and smooth. The low heat will help this process.
- When the fudge is smooth transfer to your prepared pan and spread out evenly with an offset spatula.
- Let chill for at least 2 hours before slicing into small squares. If you have lined your pan with parchment paper or foil you can gently lift it out for neater slicing.
- Fudge can be stored at room temperature, or in the refrigerator. It also freezes well.
