Ingredients

• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cup Smooth peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with a small amount of unsalted butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan set over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter, and unsalted butter.

Step 3

Stir the mixture continuously with a heatproof spatula until the chocolate chips and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If using chopped peanuts for extra texture, fold them into the mixture at this point.

Step 5

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula to create a smooth surface.

Step 6

Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then transfer the pan to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2-3 hours or until fully set.

Step 7

Once the fudge is firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into 16 equal squares or desired portions.

Step 8

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.
