Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
2. Melt the Peanut Butter and Butter:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
3. Add the Vanilla Extract and Salt:
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated into the peanut butter mixture.
4. Gradually Add the Confectioners’ Sugar:
- Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until smooth and thick.
5. Transfer to the Prepared Pan:
- Pour the peanut butter fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.
6. Chill in the Refrigerator:
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
7. Cut into Squares:
- Once the fudge is firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into squares using a sharp knife.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the peanut butter fudge squares on a platter and enjoy the irresistible combination of creamy peanut butter and sweet fudge. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
