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.

GRANDMA'S CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
This old-fashioned style of peanut butter fudge is not that easy to find out there. The ones I tend to run across always seem to be the soft, creamy version, which is not what I'm into. If it's going to feel like peanut butter in my mouth, then what's the point? No, I want something that feels dense and firm in my fingers but will almost instantly liquefy in when it hits my tongue.

Tips:
- Use creamy peanut butter: Smooth peanut butter will result in a creamier fudge, while crunchy peanut butter will give it a bit of a crunch.
- Don't overcook the mixture: The fudge will continue to thicken as it cools, so it's important to remove it from the heat as soon as it reaches the desired consistency.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help it to set properly and prevent it from crumbling.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator: It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
