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

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



Grandma's Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge image

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.

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound powdered sugar
1 ¼ cups unsalted butter
1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • Spread mixture into an 8x8-inch baking pan lined with plastic wrap. Wrap fully and refrigerate until firm enough to cut but not too hard, 1 to 3 hours.
  • Unwrap fudge and cut into small cubes. Let warm up on the counter before cutting if needed.

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.
