Ingredients

• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 10-12 Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped into small pieces (plus a few extra for topping, optional)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. This will make cutting and serving the fudge much easier.

2. Melt the chocolate and peanut butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and peanut butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate and peanut butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

3. Add the Reese’s: Fold in the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.

4. Pour and set: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Top with additional chopped Reese’s pieces if desired, pressing them gently into the fudge.

5. Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is fully set and firm. You can also leave it in the fridge overnight for best results.

6. Serve: Once the fudge has set, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper or foil. Cut it into small squares and serve. Enjoy!
