Main Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy, unsalted peanut butter
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy removal of fudge once set.
- Melt the Butter and Sweetened Condensed Milk: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butter and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Peanut Butter and White Chocolate Chips: Remove the pan from heat; stir in the creamy peanut butter and white chocolate chips until all ingredients are completely melted and blended into a glossy, smooth batter.
- Stir in Vanilla Extract: Add the vanilla extract and fold it gently into the mixture to enhance the flavor.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into your prepared pan. Spread it out with a spatula to smooth the surface, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled and set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges and slice into bite-sized squares. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for smooth blending without clumping.
- Choose quality natural creamy peanut butter without added sugars for pure flavor.
- Do not skip chilling to ensure perfect creamy yet firm texture.
- Use a heatproof spatula to scrape mixture cleanly from the pan to minimize waste.
- Cut fudge with a warm knife (run under hot water and dry) for neat, clean edges.
