Ingredients
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter plus ¼ cup for swirling
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Use an 8x8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, ½ cup peanut butter, and butter.
- Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth (about 2 minutes total).
- Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Warm the remaining ¼ cup peanut butter in the microwave for 15–20 seconds. Pipe or drizzle 4–5 horizontal lines across the fudge. Use a butter knife to gently drag through the lines vertically to create a swirl pattern.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. Lift from the pan and slice into 36 small squares.
Notes
- Microwave-safe bowls and silicone spatulas make this super smooth and easy to stir.
- Stop microwaving once most of the chips are melted; the residual heat will finish the job.
- For a cleaner swirl, warm the peanut butter just enough to drizzle smoothly.
- Use a butter knife, skewer, or toothpick to swirl vertically for that signature look.
- Refrigerate uncovered until firm, then cover for storage.
