In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and unsalted butter.
Microwave the bowl on high for 1 minute, or until the butter is melted.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the peanut butter and butter mixture until smooth and well combined.
Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and stir again.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. The mixture will become thick and slightly crumbly.
Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, microwave the mixture on high for another 1 to 2 minutes, until it becomes soft and easy to stir.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and give the mixture a good stir until it is smooth and creamy.
Pour the peanut butter fudge mixture into a greased 8x8-inch baking dish or line the dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
Smooth the top of the fudge with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it becomes firm and set.
Once the fudge is chilled and firm, remove it from the refrigerator and cut it into small squares or desired shapes.
Serve and enjoy your homemade microwave peanut butter fudge!

Notes

Use a classic creamy peanut butter like Jif. Add in the powdered sugar slowly. Allow the fudge enough time to become fully set. This usually takes about 2 hours. Do not store fudge in the fridge after it has cooled. Store at room temperature wrapped in wax paper for up to 2 weeks.
