Description

Indulge in this deliciously creamy and rich peanut butter fudge with a delightful swirl of chocolate.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 2¼ cups (383g) semi-sweet chips
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ¾ cup (274g) peanut butter chips
  • ½ cup (135g) creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal. Set aside.
  2. Prepare each fudge layer. In a large microwave safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi sweet chocolate chips, butter, and salt. In a second large microwave safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter chips, creamy peanut butter, and salt.
  3. Take turns microwaving the layers. The goal is for both mixtures to finish melting at the same time so they stay the same consistency. Microwave the chocolate mixture for 1 minute. Remove and stir. It will not be fully melted yet. Microwave the peanut butter mixture for 1 minute. Remove and stir. It will not be fully melted yet.
  4. Return the chocolate bowl to the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, stir, then microwave the peanut butter bowl for 30 to 45 seconds and stir. Continue in short intervals if needed until both mixtures are smooth and fully melted.
  5. Stir the vanilla extract into each bowl.
  6. The key to clean swirls is keeping both mixtures warm and pourable. If one begins to thicken while you are layering, microwave it for 10 to 15 seconds to loosen it.
  7. Spread about one third of the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate and gently swirl with a knife. Repeat with more chocolate, more peanut butter, and swirl again. Continue layering and swirling until both mixtures are used; final swirl may look slightly jagged as the fudge thickens. Use a spatula to gently press and smooth the surface without overmixing.
  8. Let the fudge set at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours, or ideally overnight, until firm. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges.
