Description

It is an easy make-ahead dessert for Christmas trays, homemade gift boxes, and festive gatherings, with a soft texture that slices beautifully and melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
1. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to lift the fudge out easily after chilling.
2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the peanut butter and butter together, stirring until smooth.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
4. Add the powdered sugar gradually, mixing well after each addition.
5. Stir in the milk until the mixture becomes thick, creamy, and spreadable.
6. Transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
7. Melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle or spread them over the top.
8. Add the Christmas sprinkles while the white chocolate is still soft.
9. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or until fully set.
10. Lift the fudge from the pan, cut into squares, and serve.
Notes
Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture and easiest slicing.
Let the fudge chill completely before cutting so the squares hold their shape neatly.
Store pieces in a sealed container with parchment between layers to keep them fresh and prevent sticking.
