Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper with a nonstick spray or butter.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until all the ingredients are melted and combined into a smooth, glossy mixture. This should take about 5 minutes. Be sure to keep the heat low to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Sprinkle the top of the fudge with chopped peanuts if using, gently pressing them into the surface to ensure they adhere.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely. This will take about 2-3 hours.
Once the fudge is firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the baking dish and transfer it to a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 16 squares (or your preferred size) using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Bring to room temperature before serving, if desired.
