Ingredients
Scale
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and the melted butter. Mix until completely smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until a thick dough forms.
Press the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to smooth the top.
Dust the top lightly with extra powdered sugar, if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
Lift the fudge out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into small squares.
Notes
Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture. Natural peanut butter may separate.
This fudge stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For a richer flavor, you can substitute 1/4 cup of the peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
