Ingredients
Instructions

- Remove from heat and fold in chips.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 2 hours.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using smooth peanut butter instead of crunchy. If you want extra flavor, add a dash of cinnamon or espresso powder. You can substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips for a different twist. Ensure the condensed milk is not heated too long to prevent it from thickening too much. This fudge can also be made in advance for celebrations.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares and serve as a delightful treat at parties or gatherings. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk for an indulgent dessert experience. For a fun twist, consider topping it with a sprinkle of sea salt or serving it alongside Oven Parmesan Chips for a sweet and savory combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it, where it will last for about two weeks. To enjoy it chilled, simply cut and serve straight from the refrigerator. You can also freeze it for up to three months; just make sure to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different varieties like dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even flavored chips like mint or orange. Each will give your fudge a unique taste profile, so choose according to your preferences or what you have on hand.
Is it possible to make this recipe vegan?
Yes, you can make a vegan version by using coconut condensed milk, plant-based peanut butter, and dairy-free chocolate chips. This way, you can enjoy a rich and creamy fudge without any animal products while still maintaining delicious flavor.
What can I do if my fudge doesn't set properly?
If your fudge doesn't set, it might be due to not cooking the mixture long enough or using low-quality chocolate. Try placing it back in the refrigerator for a longer time. If it still doesn't set, you can melt it down again, add a bit more chocolate, and re-chill it.
