This easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge recipe is the perfect no-bake treat for any chocolate-peanut butter lover in your life! It's creamy and delicious, and can be made in less than 15 minutes!
25-30Mini Peanut Butter Cups(chopped into small bits)
14ozSweetened Condensed Milk
12ozSemi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 ¾cupsCreamy Peanut Butter
1teaspoonVanilla Extract
⅛teaspoonSalt
Instructions
Line the bottom and side of a 9-inch square pan with either parchment paper or aluminum foil. Set to the side.
Chop the mini peanut butter cups into small bits, then set to the side.
25-30 Mini Peanut Butter Cups
Combine the sweetened condensed milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a large microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 1 minute on full power. Stir and continue to heat for 30-45 second increments at 60% powder until the chocolate has melted with the sweetened condensed milk.
14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk, 12 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Add in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring until well blended and smooth.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared 9-inch square pan, then top with chopped peanut butter cup bits. The fudge will already start to set as you place the peanut butter bits on top.
Place in the refrigerator uncovered for a minimum of 1 hour to set. Longer is always better though!
Remove from the pan and cut into squares. I cut my chocolate-peanut butter fudge into small 1 inch squares, but you can always cut them bigger!
Chocolate peanut butter fudge can be kept stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator (use wax paper for layering) for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and kept in an airtight container, for up to 3 months.
Notes
With edges sliced and then the fudge cut into 1-inch squares, this recipe will yield approximately 49 squares.
