Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the edges for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Stir continuously with a heat-proof spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture is melted and smooth. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully combined and silky.
Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spatula to spread it evenly to the corners.
If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top and gently press them into the fudge to adhere.
Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature for about 2 hours, or refrigerate for 1 hour to speed up the process.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice into 16 squares or your preferred size.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
