Ingredients
  • 12 ounce Semisweet chocolate morsels
  • 12 ounce Jar crunchy peanut butter
  • 14 ounce Sweetened condensed milk
Directions
  1. 1
    Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
  2. 2
    In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate morsels and crunchy peanut butter.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform in color and consistency.
  5. 5
    Pour the mixture immediately into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  6. 6
    Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut cleanly.
  7. 7
    Lift the fudge out of the pan using the paper overhang and cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife.
  8. 8
    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
