Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Fold the crushed graham crackers and crispy rice cereal into the peanut butter mixture until evenly distributed.
Spread half of the melted chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, making a smooth base layer.
Gently press the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate layer, ensuring even distribution without compacting too much.
Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly to cover the top.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set. Once firm, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment overhang and cut into 16 squares or desired portions.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve chilled or at room temperature for optimal texture.
