Make the best peanut butter fudge that is rich, creamy, and melts in your mouth. This easy, no-bake recipe uses simple ingredients and sets into perfect squares, making it a foolproof holiday treat or quick dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until smooth using an electric mixer.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and the mixture is thick.
  5. Press the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the top.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  7. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into 1-inch squares.

Notes

  • To prevent grainy fudge, ensure your powdered sugar is sifted before adding it to the mixture.
  • For a richer flavor, use natural peanut butter, but stir it well before measuring.
  • If you prefer a firmer fudge, chill it for 3 hours before slicing.
  • You can substitute half of the peanut butter with marshmallow fluff for a fluffier texture.
