Ingredients
-
2 cups creamy peanut butter
-
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Optional topping (not required):
-
A pinch of sea salt
-
Mini chocolate chips
-
Chopped nuts
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Pan
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2: Heat the Fudge Base
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continually until the mixture is smooth and well combined — about 3–4 minutes. Do not boil.
Step 3: Pour and Smooth
Pour the warm mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Step 4: Add Optional Toppings
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt, mini chocolate chips, or chopped nuts over the top if desired.
Step 5: Chill
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
