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.
