Ingredients
-
3 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
-
1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
-
1 cup peanut butter (creamy works best)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 ½ cups chopped Oreo cookies
-
1 cup chopped peanut butter cups
Optional: a pinch of salt to balance sweetness.
Instructions
1. Prep your pan
Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting. Lightly spray with nonstick spray.
2. Melt the chocolate
In a saucepan over low heat (or in the microwave in 20–30 second intervals), melt the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk together, stirring until smooth and glossy.
3. Add peanut butter + vanilla
Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until completely blended and silky. Remove from heat.
4. Fold in the mix-ins
Gently fold in the chopped Oreos and peanut butter cups, saving a handful to sprinkle on top.
5. Spread + top
Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining Oreos and peanut butter cups over the surface, pressing lightly so they stick.
6. Chill
Refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours, or until fully set.
Cut into small squares—the fudge is rich, so bite-sized pieces are perfect.
Tips for Perfect Fudge Every Time
-
Don’t overheat the chocolate. Low and slow prevents grainy texture.
-
Want thicker fudge? Use an 8×8 pan.
-
Want it less sweet? Use dark chocolate chips.
-
Add flair: drizzle melted peanut butter over the top before chilling for gorgeous swirls.
Variations
Try swapping or adding:
-
White chocolate chips for a layered “black and white” fudge
-
Mini pretzels for a salty crunch
-
Toffee bits for caramel-like flavor
-
Chopped nuts for extra texture
This recipe is endlessly customizable depending on your candy cravings.
