Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter (for chocolate topping)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until smooth.
- Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until fully combined and the mixture is thick.
- Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Spread gently to cover the entire surface.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares to serve.
Notes
- For the best texture, ensure your butter is truly softened, not melted, before mixing with the peanut butter.
- If you prefer a firmer fudge, chill it for longer, up to 4 hours.
- This fudge keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
