Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Chocolate chunks (semi-sweet or milk)
- 1 cup Salted peanuts (roughly chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray or butter.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and peanut butter, stirring occasionally to combine.
Once the mixture is smooth, add the sweetened condensed milk and stir until fully incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from heat and sift in the powdered sugar. Stir vigorously until the mixture is thick, smooth, and glossy.
Fold in the mini marshmallows, chocolate chunks, and chopped peanuts, reserving a small handful of each for topping the fudge if desired.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until evenly distributed.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Gently press the reserved marshmallows, chocolate chunks, and peanuts on top for decoration.
Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm. Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish.
Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
