Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Peanut butter
- 1.5 cups White chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 cups Chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment with butter or nonstick spray.
In a small saucepan, combine 7 ounces (half a can) of sweetened condensed milk and the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a rubber spatula. Set aside to let it cool slightly.
In a clean small saucepan, combine the remaining 7 ounces of sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and peanut butter. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly, until smooth and well-combined.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the sea salt. Remove from heat.
Carefully pour the peanut butter mixture over the cooled chocolate layer in the baking pan. Gently spread it until it evenly covers the chocolate layer.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top of the peanut butter layer for added texture and flavor.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours or until completely firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 16 squares.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
