What Makes This Recipe Unique
This treat combines the rich creaminess of peanut butter with the deep sweetness of chocolate, creating a perfect balance of flavors. It’s quick to make and doesn’t require baking, making it ideal for satisfying sweet cravings anytime.
Step 1
Lin an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave a couple of inches hanging over the sides for easy removal later. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, condensed milk, and a pinch of salt. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes, then stir everything together until it’s smooth and creamy. Stir in the peanut butter, then heat the mixture for another minute. Add the vanilla extract and give it one last good stir until everything is well combined. Pour this chocolate-peanut butter mixture into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 2
Mix the peanut butter chips with the milk in a smaller microwave-safe bowl. Heat it for 1 minute, then stir. If it’s not fully melted and smooth yet, keep microwaving in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until it reaches a nice, creamy consistency. Pour this on top of the fudge base and smooth it out with a spatula. Pop the whole pan into the fridge and let it chill for about 2 hours, or until it’s firm enough to cut.
