Ingredients
Fudge Ingredients
- 1¼ cups (283.75 g) unsalted butter
- 1¼ cups (338 g) creamy peanut butter
- Pinch of salt
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4½ cups (510 g) powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until fully melted. Stir in the creamy peanut butter and a pinch of salt, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Add vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly, ensuring it is evenly incorporated.
- Incorporate powdered sugar: Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps, until a thick, smooth dough-like consistency is achieved.
- Transfer to pan: Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Pour the fudge mixture into the pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until fully set and firm to the touch.
- Slice and serve: Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges, slice into squares, and serve.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture—chunky peanut butter will alter the consistency.
- Sifting powdered sugar prevents lumps in the fudge mixture.
- Make sure to chill the fudge long enough for it to firm up properly before cutting.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before chilling for a sweet and salty twist.
