  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Butter an 8 x 8-inch baking dish or cover with parchment paper, making sure to leave plenty of parchment hanging over the sides.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter and 1 ¼ cups creamy peanut butter, stirring occasionally. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
