Peanut Butter Microwave Fudge
This Peanut Butter Microwave Fudge is a quick, homemade sweet treat made with creamy peanut butter, rich chocolate, and pantry staples—all ready in under 15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter natural or branded, e.g., Skippy or Jif
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips Ghirardelli, Nestlé, or favorite brand
- 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk 1 can (Eagle Brand recommended)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter can use salted, reduce extra salt if so
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure vanilla extract for best taste
- 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt or kosher salt
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts optional for extra crunch
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with foil, leaving an overhang for easy removal, then lightly coat with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring thoroughly between each until smooth.
- Add unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the hot mixture, stirring until fully melted and glossy.
- Pour half of the peanut butter blend into the prepared pan, smoothing the top; sprinkle chopped peanuts if desired.
- Melt chocolate chips in a small bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dollop and swirl over the peanut butter layer for a marbled finish.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm, checking that edges pull away slightly from the foil.
- Lift fudge from pan using foil overhang, then slice into 16–20 squares using a hot, clean knife for tidy pieces.
Notes
Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months; thaw frozen fudge in the fridge overnight for best texture.
