Directions

  1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

  3. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, then remove from heat.
  4. Stir in the chopped peanuts into the peanut butter mixture.
  5. Pour the peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly to form the bottom layer.
  6. In a clean saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, the remaining condensed milk, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  7. Heat over low heat, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  8. Add the dash of salt to the chocolate mixture and stir well to incorporate.
  9. Carefully pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in the pan and smooth the top.
