First, line a square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Then, add all ingredients to a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 23-second intervals until melted, stirring after each.
No Microwave?
Melt the ingredients together in a double boiler on the stovetop instead.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula.
Chill in the fridge until set (at least 2 hours). When ready, lift the parchment paper to remove fudge from the pan. Using a sharp knife, slice into bite-sized pieces.
Additions & Variations
Toppings: Top the chocolate fudge with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, peanuts, or pecans instead of peanut butter chips.
Sea Salt: Add a sprinkle of sea salt over the top of the fudge to offset the sweetness.
Marbled: For a marbled look, divide the sweetened condensed milk into two bowls and melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips separately. Layer them in the baking dish then use a butter knife to swirl the layers together.
Half batch: Craving creamy peanut butter fudge but don’t want to make a whole batch? Use a 9 x 4 inch loaf pan and halve the recipe.
Vanilla extract: Try stirring 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture for added flavor.
