Time 2h14m

Yield 64 (1-inch) pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pan
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the butter and peanut butter in a 4-quart microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 2 minutes on high. Stir and microwave on high for 2 more minutes. (Use caution when removing this mixture from the microwave, it will be very hot.) Add the vanilla and powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and stir to combine with a wooden spoon. The mixture will become hard to stir and lose its sheen. Spread into a buttered 8 by 8-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Fold the excess parchment paper so it covers the surface of the fudge and refrigerate until cool, about 2 hours. Cut into 1-inch pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the fudge from scorching.
  • Stir the fudge constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the fudge reaches the correct temperature.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Pour the fudge onto a greased baking sheet or pan and let it cool completely before cutting it into pieces.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Conclusion:

Alton Brown's Easy Peanut Butter Fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
