Step-by-step
- Line an 8 x 8 inch pan with aluminum foil. Be sure the ends hang slightly over the edges. Butter the foil and set the pan aside.
- Fill the bottom of a double boiler one third up with water. Bring it to a boil. Turn the burner down to low and place the top pan over the top of the double boiler.
- Melt the butter and the peanut butter in the top pan of the double boiler. Stir until completely melted.
- Stir in the powdered sugar. Stir until the powdered sugar has melted and the mixture is very smooth with no lumps.
- As soon as this is accomplished, quickly scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth over the top.
- Once it is completely cool, remove the foil filled fudge. Place it on a cutting board. Peel down the sides of the foil.
- Cut the fudge into at least 16 pieces.
- If it’s during the warm weather months, store the fudge in the refrigerator. If it is not kept at least room temperature, the fudge will melt.
