Ingredients
Fudge Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 14 ounces vanilla frosting (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends over the sides for easy removal later. Set the pan aside.
- Melt Peanut Butter: Place the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
- Add and Melt Frosting: Add the 14 ounces of vanilla frosting to the melted peanut butter. Microwave the mixture for an additional 20 seconds until everything is combined and smooth. Stir thoroughly to amalgamate the ingredients.
- Chill the Fudge: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the fudge to firm up completely.
- Slice and Serve: Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into 24 pieces. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving to enhance the flavor.
Notes
- You can use homemade vanilla frosting if preferred; ensure it’s smooth and spreadable.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the frosting with a vegan alternative.
- Adding flaky sea salt on top balances sweetness and adds texture.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
