Learn how to make rich, creamy chocolate peanut butter fudge with this simple, no-bake recipe. This guide gives you the best homemade fudge instructions for perfect texture every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.
  3. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined and smooth. This is your rich chocolate peanut butter dessert base.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly using an offset spatula.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
  7. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board.
  8. Cut the fudge into 1-inch squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a peanut butter swirl fudge effect, reserve 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter. After spreading the chocolate mixture in the pan, warm the reserved peanut butter slightly (about 15 seconds in the microwave) and drizzle it over the top. Use a knife to gently swirl the peanut butter into the chocolate layer.
  • If you prefer a milk chocolate peanut butter fudge, substitute milk chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chips.
  • This recipe creates a classic two layer fudge look if you layer the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate layer, but for simplicity, this recipe combines them for a uniform flavor.
