Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons red and green sprinkles
Instructions
1. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving extra on the sides for easy lifting.
2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and peanut butter together, stirring until smooth.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Add the powdered sugar gradually, stirring well after each addition until the mixture is thick and smooth.
5. Transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.
6. Sprinkle the red and green sprinkles over the top and press them in lightly.
7. Refrigerate for 2 hours, or until fully set.
8. Lift the fudge from the pan, cut into squares, and serve.
Notes
For the smoothest texture, use standard creamy peanut butter instead of natural peanut butter.
Let the fudge chill completely before slicing so the squares hold their shape cleanly.
