Ingredients
- 2 cups Butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butterscotch chips, peanut butter, and sweetened condensed milk.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat or scorch the mixture.
Once fully combined, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top and gently press them into the fudge.
Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares or desired serving sizes.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
