Ingredients
Instructions
- In a 2-cup glass container with handle, combine peanut butter chips and 2/3 cup sweetened milk.
- Cook in microwave on 100% power for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
- Spread evenly into foil-lined 8-inch square pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier fudge, try using a mix of milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips. You can also substitute the peanut butter chips with butterscotch chips for a different flavor profile. Stir continuously to avoid scorching, and use a microwave-safe bowl to prevent any mishaps. If you want to enhance the flavor, add a pinch of sea salt or a splash of almond extract.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into bite-sized squares and serve on a decorative plate for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea, making it a perfect afternoon snack. For a festive touch, consider serving it alongside Arlene'S Carrot Cake at gatherings, or package it as a homemade gift for friends and family.
Storage & Reheating
Store the cooled fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate it, where it can last for up to two weeks. To serve, simply cut into squares. If you prefer it warm, microwave individual pieces for about 10 seconds to soften before enjoying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of nut butter instead of peanut butter chips?
Yes, you can substitute peanut butter chips with almond or cashew butter chips for a different flavor. Just be mindful that the texture may vary slightly, but the fudge will still be delicious. Experimenting with other nut flavors can add a unique twist to this creamy fudge.
What can I do if my fudge turns out too soft?
If your fudge is too soft, it may need additional chilling time. Refrigerate it for a few hours to firm it up. Alternatively, you can re-melt the fudge gently and add more chocolate chips to thicken it. Allow it to set again in the pan before cutting into squares.
Is it possible to make this fudge vegan?
To make a vegan version, replace the sweetened condensed milk with a vegan alternative, like coconut cream or a store-bought vegan condensed milk. Also, ensure that the chocolate and peanut butter chips are dairy-free. This way, you can enjoy a plant-based version of this creamy fudge without sacrificing flavor.
