Ingredients
Scale
1 (10 ounce) package vanilla or white baking chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
Place the white baking chips and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Stir well.
Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and completely melted. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes total after the first minute.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the melted mixture. Stir until everything is fully combined and smooth.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of white chips for a peanut butter chocolate swirl.
If you want a slightly softer fudge, reduce the cook time slightly before stirring in the condensed milk.
Cut the fudge into small pieces; this recipe makes rich candy.
