Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Milk chocolate chips Optional, for swirl
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt Optional, for sprinkling on top

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, and salt. Stir frequently until the butter and chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. If desired, gently swirl in the milk chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  7. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For a richer peanut butter flavor, use natural peanut butter (stir well to prevent separation). You can also add chopped nuts or other mix-ins to the fudge before chilling.
