Ingredients

• 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Roasted, salted peanuts

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder, unsalted butter, and salt.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the chocolate chips and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to overheat to prevent burning.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Fold in the roasted, salted peanuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Tap the dish on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles and smooth out the surface.

Step 8

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Step 9

Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 16 squares using a sharp knife.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
