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
• 1 pinch Salt
• 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat the mixture in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total.

Step 4

Once melted, stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy and smooth.

Step 5

Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top of the fudge for added texture and press them lightly into the surface.

Step 7

Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours (or until firm).

Step 8

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 equal squares.

Step 9

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