Ingredients
Instructions
- In a 2-cup glass measure with handle, combine peanut butter chips and 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk.

Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother fudge, ensure all chips are completely melted before mixing in the vanilla extract. If you prefer a different flavor, consider substituting the semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips. You can also experiment by adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor. For a fun twist, layer with a peanut butter mixture like in Layered Chocolate Delight.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for easy serving, and it pairs beautifully with coffee or tea. For a delightful dessert platter, serve alongside Sawdust Salad or Robert Redford Dessert. You can also drizzle some melted chocolate on top for added elegance, or sprinkle with crushed nuts for extra crunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Double Decker Fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to two weeks. To reheat, simply place a piece in the microwave for a few seconds until slightly warm and gooey, enhancing its fudgy texture.
