Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 can, 14.5-ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 12-ounce package chocolate chip
Instructions
- Line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper or wax paper allowing the edges to extend over the prepared pan.
- Pour the condensed milk and creamy peanut butter into a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Slowly stir the peanut butter chocolate mixture for about 10 minutes until it is thin and creamy.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted. Spread the fudge in an even layer into the bottom of the pan using a silicone baking spatula or wooden spoon to spread into the corners.
- Refrigerate the fudge for 2-3 hours before lifting the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut the fudge into squares with a sharp knife. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Chocolate and peanut butter are such a classic combination! I love how simple this fudge is! My boys love it, I will have to make them some for Christmas!
Chocolate and peanut butter go together like …. well you know. 🙂 Hope they love it.
I love how easy this is to make, and that you can then vary it with mix ins too!
The mix ins are the best part. That way everyone gets what they want 🙂
You have me sold! I’m gifting everyone fudge instead of cookies this year! 3 ingredients and 10 minutes is hard to beat – and this looks store bought for sure – though betcha it tastes better!
Love this idea…give the gift that you know everyone will love.
Yum! I love anything with peanut butter in it! And who knew making fudge at home was so easy?
Me too…Chunky or smooth this recipe is super easy to make and everyone is happy.
No candy thermometer needed! That is music to my chocolate lovin’ ears.
That is the best part. No thermometer needed 🙂
Followed instructions exactly. Medium heat is WAY too high. milk/peanut butter mixture curdled slightly. Kept it on low. Transferred off heat to add the chocolate chips and everything crumbled and I wasn’t able to pour into a dish. The chocolate melted/cooked way too fast because of the original hot heat even after turning it on low. Mom to the rescue; she is turning them into dumb looking truffles. Not what I expected. Will try again with a very low setting.
Thanks Kelly for your comment. It sounds like the heat on your stove was too hot. I suppose different ovens will have different levels of medium heat, especially between gas and electric ranges. Definitely try it again at a low to medium low heat so the ingredients melt slower. Also use a heavier bottomed pot and tend to the pot since the stovetop is a hotter heat source. As soon as the ingredients are melted remove the pot from the burner and continue to the next step. Good luck on the next batch. 🙂
Can u not put in peanut butter just have chocolate chip so u would just have 2 things not 3 or put in nuts
Yes, you can leave out the peanut butter. Just use about 3 cups of chips and one can of the condensed milk.
i doubled the recipe and melted in microwave for 2 mins…..worked out great….
