Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups Powdered sugar (sifted)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Begin by lining an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Leave enough overhang on the edges for easy removal later. Spray the lined pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine Butter and Peanut Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, place 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Microwave the mixture for 1 minute. Remove, stir thoroughly, and return to the microwave for an additional 30 seconds if needed. Ensure the mixture is completely melted and smooth before proceeding.
- Incorporate the Powdered Sugar: Gradually sift in 3 cups of powdered sugar to avoid lumps. Stir with a sturdy spatula or use a hand mixer on low speed. Blend the ingredients together until the confectioner's sugar is completely combined, resulting in a fudge mixture with a silky and shiny texture.
- Transfer to the Pan: Pour the mixture into your prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, pressing it gently into all corners. Smooth the top for a polished finish.
- Chill the Fudge: Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm to the touch. For quicker results, you can freeze it for about 1 hour.
- Cut and Serve: Once the fudge has set, using the parchment paper's extended edges, carefully remove it from the pan. Using a sharp blade, divide the item into square pieces measuring approximately 1-inch on each side. Serve immediately or store for later.
