Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup Christmas sprinkles, divided
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.
2. Add peanut butter and butter to a medium saucepan over low heat.
3. Stir until melted, smooth, and glossy, then remove from the heat.
4. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
5. Add powdered sugar gradually, mixing well after each addition until thick and smooth.
6. Fold in white chocolate chips if using, then gently fold in part of the Christmas sprinkles.
7. Press the fudge mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
8. Sprinkle the remaining Christmas sprinkles over the top and press them in lightly.
9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
10. Lift the fudge from the pan, slice into small squares, and serve chilled or slightly softened.
Notes
Use creamy no-stir peanut butter for the smoothest texture and best set.
Add powdered sugar gradually so the fudge stays smooth instead of dry or crumbly.
Chill the fudge fully before slicing, and wipe the knife between cuts for clean squares.
