Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
- Optional: pinch of sea salt
- Optional: splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir roughly to mix.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir vigorously. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. Avoid overheating.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Optionally sprinkle sea salt or chopped peanuts on top.

Notes
Stir well between microwave intervals to avoid burning. Use creamy peanut butter for best texture. Let fudge set fully in fridge for at least 2 hours. Optional add-ins include sea salt, vanilla extract, or chopped peanuts. For vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut condensed milk.
