Are you drooling yet? ... hmmmm, maybe just make it and have a piece, or two, or more ...
INGREDIENTS
Peanut Butter Layer
1 cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3½ cups powdered sugar
Chocolate Layer
7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (½ of a 14 ounce can)
1½ cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
To make the Peanut Butter Layer – Combine the peanut butter, butter and vanilla in a glass bowl and melt in the microwave for 90 seconds. Stir to combine, it should come together very quickly and be smooth and creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar a cup or so at a time. Stir to combine thoroughly. Grease an 8-9 inch pan with butter or line with parchment. Transfer the peanut butter fudge mixture to the pan and press into the pan.
Now make the Chocolate Layer – Combine the milk, the chocolate and the butter in a medium size glass bowl and heat in the microwave for 90 seconds. Stir to combine and heat another 15 seconds if needed. Stir until smooth. Pour over the peanut butter fudge.
Let your fudge cool on the counter for at least 4 hours (if you can😉) before cutting, or chill in the refrigerator. Slice into bite size servings and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Enjoy!
