- Stir the vanilla extract and salt into the melted peanut butter mixture until well combined.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, stirring vigorously until the fudge is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a rubber spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm, then use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out and cut into squares.
