Peanut Butter Fudge 
~ Alton Brown 

1 cup butter, plus more for greasing pan
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pound confectioners’ sugar 

Microwave butter and peanut butter for 2 minutes 
on high. Stir and microwave on high for 2 more minutes. 

Add vanilla and confectioners’ sugar to 
peanut butter mixture and stir to combine 
with a wooden spoon. 

Pour into a buttered 8 by 8-inch pan lined with waxed paper. 

Place a second piece of waxed paper on the 
surface of the fudge and refrigerate until cool. 

Cut into 1-inch pieces and store in an airtight 
container for up to a week. 

Hint:  
Alton used a potato masher when the fudge got
too stiff to stir.  I tried it - and the fudge comes out
really, really smooth.
