Easy Peanut Butter Fudge and Tutorial


My friend Marty is an excellent cook.  When she told me that she had an easy peanut butter fudge recipe that called for only four ingredients, I had to try it, and wow!  It did not disappoint! Thanks, Marty! 


Easy Peanut Butter Fudge

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
1 cup smooth peanut butter (do not use natural peanut butter)
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted

Line an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or wax paper leaving a slight overhang.  Place the butter and peanut butter in a large microwaveable bowl.  Microwave on high in 30-second increments stirring after each time until melted and smooth.  Stir in the vanilla.  With a wooden spoon (mixture will become heavy), stir in the sifted powdered sugar one cup at a time.  Spread the fudge evenly in the lined pan with your hand.  Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, smooth top.  Mixture will appear very soft and shiny.  Refrigerate for 2 hours.  Lift fudge from pan using the overhang and set on a cutting board.  Remove parchment paper or wax paper and cut into 1-inch pieces.  Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
