Buttery Nutty Squares (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
3½ cups powdered sugar.
02 -
1 teaspoon vanilla.
03 -
1 cup creamy peanut butter.
04 -
1 cup butter.
# Instructions:
01 -
Put the butter, peanut butter, and vanilla in a glass container. Pop it in the microwave for a minute and a half. Stir it all up until it’s creamy and smooth.
02 -
Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, adding about a cup at a time. After each addition, stir thoroughly to ensure everything blends in.
03 -
Coat an 8-9 inch pan with butter or cover it with parchment paper. Pour the fudge in and spread it out smoothly, pressing gently to get an even layer.
04 -
Pop the pan in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours or until firm. Once it’s set, cut it into 1-inch pieces and pop them into an airtight container, keeping them in the fridge.
05 -
If you’re using the stovetop, heat up the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla in a saucepan over low-medium heat. Stir constantly until everything is melted and combined, then take it off the heat and follow the same steps to mix in the sugar.
# Notes:
01 -
This dessert needs chilling time, so it’s great to prepare way in advance. Handy for celebrations or as a gift from your kitchen.
02 -
Make sure the butter and peanut butter fully melt together. This helps the texture turn out perfectly creamy.
