Ingredients
Scale
1 (10 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
Place the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Stir well.
Microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth.
Stir in the peanut butter until fully combined and the mixture is uniform in color.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
If you want a slightly firmer fudge, chill it for 3 hours before cutting.
