Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Stir well until completely combined and a thick dough forms. You may need to use your hands toward the end.
- Press the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out once it is firm.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
- Cut into small squares before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use natural peanut butter, but stir it well before measuring.
- If the mixture is too stiff to stir, microwave it for another 10 seconds.
- For gift giving, cut the fudge into small pieces and place them in small cellophane bags tied with ribbon.
