Microwave Dairy-Free Peanut Butter Fudge

Ingredients

• 8 ounces dairy-free buttery spread (see type in post above)
• 1 cup smooth peanut butter (see type in post above)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pound powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Grease an 8 x 8-inch pan and line it with parchment paper so a little hangs over the sides of the pan.

2. 2

   Put the dairy-free buttery spread and peanut butter in a 4-quart microwave-safe bowl, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir the mixture. Cover and microwave on high for 2 more minutes.

4. 4

   Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (the mixture will be very hot). If children are cooking the fudge, this is a step that requires adult assistance.

5. 5

   Add the vanilla to the peanut butter mixture, and sift in the powdered sugar. Stir until combined. The mixture will become stiff and lose its shine.

6. 6

   Spread the fudge mixture evenly into your prepared pan.

7. 7

   Fold the excess parchment paper over the top of the fudge, and refrigerate until it is cool and set, about 2 hours.

8. 8

   Cut the fudge into 1-inch pieces, or larger pieces as pictured here, to serve.

9. 9

   Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
