Scale
Ingredients
- 18 oz creamy peanut butter (e.g., Jif)
- 16 oz vanilla frosting (e.g., Betty Crocker)
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line a 9×9 or 8×8 square pan with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Mix Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and vanilla frosting until well blended.
- Microwave Mixture: Heat the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly to ensure even heating. Repeat microwaving for another 30 seconds and stir well again until smooth.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Use an offset spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the surface.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for about 2 hours or until it is set and firm to the touch.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the fudge into bite-sized squares and enjoy your creamy peanut butter treat.
Notes
- Peanut Butter: It is best to use a creamy, processed peanut butter like Jif for proper texture; natural peanut butter will not set well.
- Frosting: Use your preferred brand of vanilla frosting; Betty Crocker is a reliable choice.
- Storage: Keep the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
