Directions
-
Line an 8-inch square pan (or a 9x13 inch pan) with wax paper or parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
-
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter chips, 6 ounces of the condensed milk (half the can), and 2 tablespoons of the butter.
-
Stir frequently until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
-
Stir in half of the chopped peanuts into the peanut butter mixture, if using.
-
Pour the peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
-
In a separate saucepan over low heat, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, the remaining 8 ounces of condensed milk, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
-
Stir constantly until the chocolate mixture is smooth and glossy. Remove from heat.
-
Carefully pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Spread it gently to cover the entire surface.
-
Sprinkle the remaining chopped peanuts on top of the chocolate layer, if using.
-
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely firm and set.
-
Lift the fudge out of the pan using the wax paper overhang. Peel off the paper and cut into squares with a sharp knife.

Note
Storage: Keep the fudge tightly covered in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
Ingredient Substitution: You can use dark or milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a different flavor profile. Crisco or coconut oil can be substituted for butter if needed.
Tip: For easier cutting, let the fudge sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before slicing, or wipe the knife with a warm paper towel between cuts.
