Ingredients

• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the edges for easy removal. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.

Step 3

Stir continuously with a heat-proof spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture is melted and smooth. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent burning.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully combined and silky.

Step 5

Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spatula to spread it evenly to the corners.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top and gently press them into the fudge to adhere.

Step 7

Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature for about 2 hours, or refrigerate for 1 hour to speed up the process.

Step 8

Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice into 16 squares or your preferred size.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
