A rich, no-cook-stove peanut butter fudge made in the microwave, cut into small squares. It keeps well and freezes nicely, so it suits gifting and making ahead.

Ingredients

8 oz unsalted butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 pound powdered sugar

Directions

Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment, leaving some hanging over the sides.
In a microwave-safe bowl, put the butter and peanut butter. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, microwave for another minute, then stir until smooth.
Stir in the powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and as thick as paste, and work quickly.
Spread into the pan, lay parchment over the top, and press evenly with your palms.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, then lift out and cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife.

Notes

Keeps 2 weeks at room temperature in a cool, dark spot; up to a month in the refrigerator airtight; up to a year frozen (wrap each square in wax paper, then plastic wrap or foil, in an airtight container or freezer bag). Thaw in the fridge or on the counter. Contains peanuts.
