Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar
1 cup milk chocolate chips (optional for topping)
Instructions
Prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Once the butter is melted, remove from heat and mix in the creamy peanut butter until fully combined.
Add the vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture and stir well.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
If desired, sprinkle the milk chocolate chips over the top and press them into the fudge.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
