This quick and easy, no-bake dessert for a crowd is perfect for Christmas, holidays and parties! It’s a fool-proof recipe that is sure to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter (not natural)
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
-
Grease an 8X8 inch pan with butter, and then line with parchment paper (this will make the removal of the fudge much easier).
-
In a large glass bowl, combine the butter and peanut butter and cover with a paper towel. Microwave for about 2 minutes on high.
-
Stir and microwave for 1-2 more minutes depending on the wattage of your microwave. Carefully remove it from the microwave because it will be very hot!
-
Add the powdered sugar (and vanilla if you’re using it) to the melted peanut butter mixture, and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until it’s well combined.
-
Use a spatula to spread the mixture into your lined pan, and allow it to cool on the counter for about 10 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, foil or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
-
Once cooled, carefully turn the pan upside down onto a cutting surface so that the fudge falls out. Remove the parchment paper and cut into small pieces.
-
Store the fudge in your refrigerator, and enjoy for up to 2 weeks!
