Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy, natural peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out softened butter, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Having everything ready ensures a smooth and efficient process.
  2. Cream Butter and Peanut Butter: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened butter and peanut butter together using a hand mixer or sturdy spoon until smooth and creamy without lumps.
  3. Add Sweetness and Flavor: Gradually sift powdered sugar into the mixture while mixing on low speed to avoid sugar clouds. Add vanilla extract and salt, stirring until fully combined and silky smooth.
  4. Shape the Bites: Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls or press into mini molds to form squares. Place them on parchment-lined trays to set evenly.
  5. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the shaped bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up and achieve the ideal fudgy consistency. Once chilled, they are ready to enjoy or package as gifts.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • Sift the powdered sugar to prevent lumps and create a silky finish.
  • Do not overmix; blend until just combined to keep the texture tender.
  • Taste the mixture before chilling and adjust sugar to preference.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Freeze bites in a single layer before transferring to freezer-safe containers for up to three months.
  • No need to reheat; allow to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
