Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set it aside.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, smooth peanut butter, and sweetened condensed milk.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly using a spatula.
Optional: Sprinkle the top with chopped peanuts for added texture and crunch.
Let the fudge sit at room temperature for about 1-2 hours to set, or place it in the refrigerator for faster cooling.
Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut it into 16 even squares using a sharp knife.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
