Peanut Butter Fudge

Now if my daughter could eat this every day for the rest of her life, she would be happy, maybe a little chunky but happy!  She was thrilled when I told her we were making her favorite dessert, fudge.  She was excited about trying peanut butter fudge which she had never tried before.  I thought it was yummy but a little too sweet for me!

1¼ cups (10 ounces) unsalted butter

1¼ cups smooth peanut butter
Pinch of salt
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
4½ cups powdered sugar, sifted

1. Butter an 8-inch non-stick baking dish (or line with buttered parchment paper) and set aside.


2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the butter and peanut butter until the mixtures comes to a boil. Remove from the heat.

3. Add the salt and vanilla extract, then stir in the powdered sugar until smooth and no lumps remain.

4. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the fudge and refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour. Cut into squares and serve. Fudge can be stored at cool room temperature in an airtight container.
