Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper.
Melt Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and peanut butter together, stirring until smooth and combined. Remove from heat.
Mix in Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Add Sugar: Gradually stir in the
powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until the mixture is very thick and smooth. (You may not need the full 4 cups—stop when it’s hard to stir but still pourable).
Press and Set: Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and press it down firmly and evenly with a spatula or your hands (lightly buttered to prevent sticking).
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until firm.
Cut: Slice into squares. Store this fudge in the refrigerator.
