  • Total Time: 1 hour 7 minutes
  • Yield: 16 pieces

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups peanut butter baking chips

Instructions

  1. Heat sweetened condensed milk: Place the sweetened condensed milk in a medium-sized saucepan and heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Add peanut butter chips: Once the milk is hot but not boiling, add the peanut butter baking chips and stir continuously until the chips have completely melted and the mixture is smooth and shiny.
  3. Pour into pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with foil or parchment paper, then pour the melted fudge mixture evenly into the pan, spreading it out smoothly.
  4. Cool to room temperature: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature, helping it to set before refrigerating.
  5. Refrigerate: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
  6. Cut and serve: Remove the fudge from the pan using the edges of the foil or parchment, cut into 16 squares, and serve.

Notes

  • Use a heatproof spatula to stir the fudge mixture for easy handling and smooth results.
  • Make sure to line the pan completely, so the fudge can be removed easily without sticking.
  • Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • For a quicker set, you can place the pan in the freezer for 20-30 minutes instead of the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer a crunchier texture, add chopped peanuts or nuts of your choice before cooling.
