Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the edges for easy removal later. Lightly grease the paper with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat or scorch the chocolate.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until completely incorporated and smooth.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan.
If desired, sprinkle the top with chopped peanuts. Gently press them into the fudge for better adhesion.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 16 equal squares.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
