Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
- Add vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture and stir until completely blended.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture and gently swirl using a knife or spatula to create a marbled effect.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula and smoothing the top.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until completely set and firm.
- Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Sift the powdered sugar to prevent any lumps in your fudge.
- When melting chocolate chips, stir frequently and be careful not to overheat to prevent burning.
- For a perfectly smooth marbled effect, use a knife and make gentle swirling motions.
- Ensure your parchment paper has enough overhang to easily lift the fudge out of the pan.
- Chill the fudge for at least 2 hours for the best set and texture.
- Use a sharp, clean knife when cutting to get neat, even squares.
- For variations, try different nut butters or add crushed nuts on top for extra crunch!
