Easy Double Decker Fudge(Microwave)
Creamy and indulgent double layer fudge with peanut butter and chocolate flavors, perfect for sharing at parties or as a sweet gift for loved ones.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a glass measure cup, combine peanut butter chips and 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk.
- Cook on High for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Spread evenly into a foil-lined 8-inch square pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even creamier fudge, consider using a combination of milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips. If you don’t have peanut butter chips, you can substitute with butterscotch chips for a different flavor profile. Ensure the sweetened condensed milk is at room temperature for easier mixing. Stir the chocolate mixture thoroughly to avoid any lumps before spreading it in the pan.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for bite-sized treats, which pair beautifully with Creamy Autumn Potatoes for a delightful dessert spread. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with caramel sauce for an indulgent touch. This fudge also makes a great gift when packaged in decorative boxes or tins.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator where it can last up to two weeks. If you prefer soft fudge, allow it to come to room temperature before serving. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds if it becomes too firm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of chips in this recipe?
Absolutely! You can mix and match different types of chips. Try using white chocolate chips or a blend of dark and milk chocolate for a richer flavor. Just keep the total volume the same to ensure the consistency remains the same.
What can I do if my fudge is too soft?
If your fudge turns out too soft, it may not have set properly. You can try refrigerating it for a longer period. If it still doesn't firm up, consider using it as a topping for desserts like ice cream or pancakes, turning it into a delicious fudge sauce.
How do I make this fudge dairy-free?
To make a dairy-free version, use dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut or almond milk instead of sweetened condensed milk. There are also plant-based condensed milk alternatives available that can work just as well in this recipe.
