Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.

  2. Step 2

    Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, ~2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. Step 3

    Stir peanut butter into melted butter until smooth and fully combined.

  4. Step 4

    Sift powdered sugar into the pan. Stir vigorously until no lumps remain and mixture is glossy.
