Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.33 cup Chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture constantly until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top and gently press them into the fudge to ensure they stick.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once the fudge is set, remove it from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 16 equal squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
