Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk.
- Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, if desired.
- Pour the fudge mixture into a parchment-lined 8x8-inch pan and spread it evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
- Cut the fudge into small squares and enjoy!
Notes
If you prefer a firmer fudge, reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk or refrigerate for a longer period.
Mix-ins such as crushed nuts, mini marshmallows, or crushed cookies can be added after melting.
For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
This recipe can be doubled; adjust the refrigeration time accordingly.
