Instructions
- Set out a large and small microwave safe bowl. Set out an 8x8 inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
- For the peanut butter fudge, place the peanut butter, salted butter, vanilla extract in salt in the larger bowl. Microwave in one-minute increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and thin. Then stir in the powdered sugar a little at a time to form a smooth fudgy base.
- Move the peanut butter fudge mixture to the prepared pan. Press into an even layer. Use a butter knife to cut ridges/gashes in the top of the peanut butter fudge to create a swirly layer with the chocolate fudge.
- In the smaller bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in one-minute increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of milk. If the mixture is too thick to spread stir in a second teaspoon of milk.
- Pour the mixture over the top of the peanut butter fudge spread and press to work the chocolate fudge down into the crevices of the peanut butter fudge.
- Chill for at least 3 hours. Then lift the fudge out of the pan by the edges of the paper. Cut into 1-inch squares and place in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Notes
- It’s best to cut the fudge while it is cold. However, the fudgy texture is best at room temperature.
