Peanut Butter Fudge

Ingredients

• 8 ounces (2 sticks) butter, (cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 cups smooth peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 pound powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Line an 8X8 inch pan with aluminum foil, overlapping the edges of the pan 2 inches. (This will make for easy removal and clean up). Spray nonstick cooking spray on the foil. Set aside.

2. 2

   Add the butter (8 ounces) and peanut butter (1 cup) to a large microwave-safe bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Poke holes in the plastic to vent steam. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Carefully pull back plastic and stir to combine. Recover with plastic and microwave for an additional 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the vanilla (1 teaspoon) and powdered sugar (1 pound) to a bowl and stir to combine, until the mixture becomes dull and loses its shine. Don't overbeat. Spread in prepared pan, use a rubber spatula to even out the top of the mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set. About 2 hours. Cuts best when it's been out of the fridge 10-15 minutes.
