Make this simple, rich Buckeye Fudge combining creamy peanut butter and decadent chocolate. This no-bake recipe is perfect for holiday treats or any time you need a quick, satisfying confection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (half of a 14-ounce can)
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for chocolate topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare an 8×8 inch pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture, beating until fully combined and creamy. This forms the peanut butter layer.
  4. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  5. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Spread gently to cover the entire surface.
  7. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  8. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares.

Notes

  • For a firmer fudge, chill the pan for 30 minutes before adding the chocolate layer.
  • You can substitute milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet if you prefer a sweeter topping.
  • Store leftover Buckeye Fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
