Peanut Butter Fudge

Peanut Butter Fudge
Recipe courtesy of Alton Brown

(I got this recipe from Food Network's Alton Brown (Good Eats) and I have had numerous compliments from it...and several requests for more! It is super easy and very good!!!)

1 cup butter, plus more for greasing pan
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pound confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)

Microwave butter and peanut butter for 2 minutes on high. Stir and microwave on high for 2 more minutes. Add vanilla and confectioner's sugar to peanut butter mixture and stir to combine with a wooden spoon. Pour into a buttered 8-inch by 8-inch pan lined with wax paper or parchment paper (I prefer the parchment paper so I don't get a wax taste). Place a second piece of wax or parchment 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.
