How to make old fashioned Peanut Butter Fudge
Line a 6-inch square cake pan with parchment paper. (I cut mine 6”x10” so two sides are longer and stick up slightly)
Add the unsalted butter and peanut butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and add in the powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla, stirring until completely mixed in.
Transfer to the prepared cake pan and smooth the top flat with a spatula.
Cool at room temperature, for about an hour, until set.
When the fudge has set, run a knife gently around the edges and invert it onto a cutting board.
Remove the parchment paper and cut into 9, 12, or 16 equal squares.
Serve and enjoy!
