Decadent Peanut Butter and Chocolate Fudge

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

2 cups milk chocolate chips 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1 pinch salt ½ cup peanut butter 1 tablespoon vanilla extract ½ cup peanut butter chips ¼ cup milk

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by lining an 8- or 9-inch square pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave a couple of inches hanging over the edges to help lift the fudge out later. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt. Pop it in the microwave for about 2 minutes, then stir everything together until it’s mostly melted and smooth. Stir in the peanut butter, then microwave it for another minute. Add the vanilla extract and give it a good stir until the mixture is nice and creamy. Pour this into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 2

Next, grab a smaller microwave-safe bowl and mix the peanut butter chips with the milk. Heat it in the microwave for 1 minute, then stir. If it’s not completely smooth yet, keep microwaving in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until it’s creamy and lump-free. Pour this on top of the chocolate layer and smooth it out with a spatula. Pop the pan in the fridge and let it chill for about 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and ready to slice.

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use fresh, high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor.
- Melt the chocolate slowly over low heat to avoid burning.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting to get clean pieces.

Serving ideas

Serve these squares as a delightful dessert or an afternoon snack. They pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee. You can also add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty twist.

Storage & leftovers

Keep the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, place it in the fridge, where it will last about two weeks. If frozen, wrap tightly and thaw before serving to maintain the best texture.
