Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter.

Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

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

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 8

Once the fudge is set, remove it from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
