Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, add peanut butter, unsalted butter, and salt. Microwave on HIGH in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth (about 90 seconds to 2½ minutes total).
  • Stir in vanilla extract, then gradually beat in powdered sugar using an electric mixer on low speed, 1 cup at a time. Increase to high and beat until smooth and lump-free.
  • Transfer mixture into the prepared pan. Press and smooth into an even layer with a spatula.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until firm. Lift out with the parchment or foil and cut into small squares.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Fudge can also be frozen for longer storage—just wrap tightly and thaw in the fridge before serving.
