Ingredients
For the chocolate layer
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips do not use Nestle Toll House, they do not melt well
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- cooking spray
For the peanut butter layer
- 1 cup butter cut into slices
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup miniature peanut butter cups quartered
Instructions
- Coat an 9 inch square pan with cooking spray and line the pan with foil, leaving a 2 inch overhang on the sides. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
For the chocolate layer
- Place the chocolate chips, butter and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave safe bowl.
- Heat for 60 seconds, then stir and heat for an additional 30 seconds or until melted. Stir until smooth.
- Use an offset spatula to firmly press the chocolate fudge into an even layer in the bottom of the pan. Immediately prepare the peanut butter layer to put over the warm chocolate layer.
For the peanut butter layer
- Place the peanut butter, butter and vanilla in a large microwave safe bowl. Heat in 45 second increments until melted.
- Stir until smooth, then gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture while whisking constantly.
- Immediately pour the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate layer. Quickly press the peanut butter cups into the top of the peanut butter layer.
- Chill until firm, then use the foil to lift the fudge out of the pan and cut into 36 squares.
Notes
- It's important to put the two layers together when both types of fudge are warm so that they will stick together and come out as one piece when you cut the fudge. If you put warm peanut butter fudge onto cool chocolate fudge the layers may not stick together when you go to cut them.
