👩‍🍳 How to Make It (So Easy, You’ll Want Seconds!)

1. Melt the Chocolate Base

In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly until glossy and smooth.

2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Swirl

In a separate small pot, add the peanut butter chocolate chips with the remaining sweetened condensed milk and 2 tablespoons of butter. Melt gently until smooth and the chips are fully incorporated.

3. Swirl Like a Pro

Pour the chocolate mixture into a parchment-lined pan, then drizzle the peanut butter layer over the top. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the two together for that beautiful marbled effect.

4. Season & Chill

Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt if you like that salty-sweet pop. Then chill for 2–4 hours until fully set.

5. Enjoy!

Cut into squares and savor the creamy, dreamy peanut butter swirl in every bite!

🍫 Expert Tips for Best Results

Here are a few pro tips to make this fudge just right:

• Go gentle with heat. Low and slow melting keeps the chocolate glossy and prevents grainy texture.

• Line your pan. Parchment paper makes it super easy to lift the fudge out and slice.

• Try sea salt! A light sprinkle on top brightens the sweet chocolate-peanut butter combo beautifully.

• Customize it! Add chopped peanuts, mini peanut butter cups, or a swirl of caramel for next-level flavor.
