Ingredients
Scale
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
Instructions
Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Stir well until completely smooth.
Pour about two-thirds of the peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. This is your peanut butter layer.
In a separate small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until the chocolate is smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer in the pan.
Dollop the remaining one-third of the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate layer.
Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the chocolate and peanut butter layers together to create a marble effect. Do not overmix.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into 24 squares.
Notes
For cleaner cuts, let the fudge sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.
You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
