Ingredients

Servings:
18
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini peanut butter cups (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the pan)
  • 1 cup chopped peanuts (for added crunch)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Pan

    Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter.

    Line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Melt Chocolate

    In a medium saucepan, over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk together, stirring constantly until smooth.

    Avoid overheating to prevent seizing.
  3. Add Peanut Butter

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Make sure the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
  4. Pour into Pan

    Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.

    Gently tap the pan to remove air bubbles.
  5. Add Toppings

    Sprinkle chopped peanuts and mini peanut butter cups on top of the fudge mixture.

    Press them down slightly to adhere.
  6. Chill

    Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firm.

    Cut into squares after it has set completely.
