Keeper Recipe: Peanut Butter Fudge

These are like a million gazillion calories per piece, but try and eat just one.

Ingredients:

8 oz. unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pan

1 cup smooth peanut butter

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 lb. powdered sugar

Directions:

• Combine the butter and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
• Microwave for 2 minutes on high.
• Stir and microwave on high for 2 more minutes.
• 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. That's good.
• Spread into a buttered 8" x 8" pan lined with parchment paper.
• Fold the excess parchment paper so it covers the surface of the fudge.
• Refrigerate until cool (about 2 hours).
• Cut into 1" pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
