Time 19m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups peanut butter (chunky or smooth, your choice)
1 lb salted butter
2 lbs confectioners' sugar (10x)
2 tablespoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x15 pyrex dish. Cover bottom with wax paper.
  • Put peanut butter and butter in a large microwavable bowl. Do Not Cover! I used a large glass casserole dish and that seemed to work perfectly. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from microwave. Stir to combine. Return to microwave for another 2 minutes on high.
  • Remove from microwave. Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and stir to combine. Add the powdered sugar and stir combine. You are done stirring once the mixture appears evenly combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Use a second sheet of wax paper to cover the fudge and smooth the top. Place in the fridge to cool. Once cool, discard the wax paper cover and cut into pieces and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the fudge from burning.
  • 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 (234°F).
  • 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. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Alton Brown's Easy Peanut Butter Fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy, rich, and satisfying fudge that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
