Ingredients

• 1 pound powdered sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
• 1.25 cups unsalted butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Sift sugar through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl.

Step 2

Heat butter and peanut butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk to combine and cook until bubbles appear on the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in salt and vanilla extract. Pour over powdered sugar in the bowl. Mix together using a spatula until smooth.

Step 3

Spread mixture into an 8x8-inch baking pan lined with plastic wrap. Wrap fully and refrigerate until firm enough to cut but not too hard, 1 to 3 hours.

Step 4

Unwrap fudge and cut into small cubes. Let warm up on the counter before cutting if needed.
