Make this rich, decadent Buckeye Fudge easily at home. This no-bake recipe combines creamy peanut butter with a thick chocolate topping for a simple, satisfying dessert perfect for holidays or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (half of a 14-ounce can)
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until smooth.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until fully combined and a thick dough forms.
  5. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
  6. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of butter.
  7. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
  8. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.
  9. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
  10. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares.

Notes

  • For a traditional Buckeye look, you can leave a small circle of the peanut butter layer exposed before pouring the chocolate on top, though this recipe is designed for a full chocolate layer.
  • Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • If you want a slightly firmer chocolate topping, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the chocolate mixture while melting.
