Ingredients & Substitutions

The Essentials

1 cup creamy peanut butter – Use natural or conventional (natural may be oilier)
1 cup milk chocolate chips – Semi-sweet works too for deeper flavor
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk – The key to creamy fudge texture

Candy Mix-Ins

1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups – Mini cups work great
1 cup chopped Butterfinger bars – About 4 full-size bars

Flavor Enhancers

2 tbsp unsalted butter – Helps create smooth texture
1 tsp vanilla extract – Balances sweetness
Pinch of salt – Makes flavors pop

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Pan

Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal
Lightly grease the paper to prevent sticking

2. Melt the Base

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine:

Peanut butter
Chocolate chips
Butter

Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until fully melted (~1-2 minutes total)

3. Mix & Add Candy

Stir in sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated
Add vanilla and salt, mixing well
Gently fold in chopped Reese’s and Butterfinger (reserve some for topping)

4. Chill & Set

Pour into prepared pan and smooth the top
Sprinkle with reserved candy pieces (optional)
Refrigerate at least 2 hours (or overnight for firmer fudge)

5. Slice & Serve!

Lift fudge out using parchment overhang
Cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife
Store in airtight container in fridge

Expert Tips for Perfect Fudge

🔹 Room temp ingredients blend more smoothly
🔹 Don’t over-microwave – Chocolate can burn easily
🔹 For clean cuts, dip knife in hot water between slices
🔹 Freeze 30 minutes if you need to speed up setting time
🔹 Double the batch – It disappears fast!

Creative Variations to Try

🍪 Cookie Crunch – Add crushed Oreos or Nutter Butters
🌰 Nutty Version – Swap Butterfinger for chopped Snickers

🔥 Spicy Kick – Add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
