Directions
-
Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
-
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate morsels and crunchy peanut butter.
-
Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
-
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform in color and consistency.
-
Pour the mixture immediately into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
-
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut cleanly.
-
Lift the fudge out of the pan using the paper overhang and cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife.
-
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
