Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the edges for easy removal later. Lightly grease the paper with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Place the saucepan over low heat and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat or scorch the chocolate.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until completely incorporated and smooth.

Step 5

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle the top with chopped peanuts. Gently press them into the fudge for better adhesion.

Step 7

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.

Step 8

Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 16 equal squares.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
