Fudge Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Melt Ingredients: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk, stirring continuously until the mixture melts and becomes smooth.
- Add Flavoring: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly to infuse flavor.
- Pour Mixture: Transfer the smooth mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula for uniform thickness.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to cut into squares.
- Serve: Once set, cut into 16 squares and enjoy your homemade chocolate peanut butter fudge.
Notes
- For a crunchy texture, add chopped peanuts to the mixture before chilling.
- Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet, more intense nutty flavor.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- You can substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer taste.
- Make sure to melt over low heat to prevent burning or seizing of the chocolate.
