Ingredients

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (about 1 cup)

Directions

Start by lining an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Be careful not to overheat, as this can cause the fudge to become grainy. Once the chocolate mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and gently fold in about three-quarters of the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Reserve the remaining pieces for the top. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly with a spatula. Immediately press the reserved chopped peanut butter cups into the top of the fudge. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut it into small squares. This Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Fudge (3 Ingredient) – TipBuzz is best served chilled.

Servings and Timing

This recipe yields about 24 small squares of fudge. The total time is 2 hours and 15 minutes, with just 15 minutes of active preparation and 2 hours of chilling time.

Variations

For a different twist, try using white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a sweeter version of this Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Fudge (3 Ingredient) – TipBuzz. You can also add a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before chilling to create a sweet and salty flavor profile. If you want a more intense peanut butter flavor, swirl in a tablespoon of creamy peanut butter into the chocolate mixture before adding the peanut butter cups. This variation is fantastic for those who love the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter, as seen in this easy peanut butter fudge recipe.

FAQs

Can I use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet?

Yes, you can absolutely use milk chocolate chips. This will make the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Fudge (3 Ingredient) – TipBuzz much sweeter. If you prefer a less sweet fudge, stick with semi-sweet or even dark chocolate chips.

Why is my fudge grainy?

Grainy fudge is usually a result of overheating the chocolate mixture. Always melt the chocolate and condensed milk over low heat, stirring constantly. If the mixture gets too hot, the sugar can crystallize, creating a grainy texture. For more information on the science of melting chocolate, you can read about melting chocolate on Wikipedia.

Can I use natural peanut butter in this fudge?

I do not recommend using natural peanut butter for this Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Fudge (3 Ingredient) – TipBuzz. Natural peanut butter has a different fat content and can separate, causing the fudge to become oily and not set properly. Stick with the classic Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for the best texture and flavor.

Can I skip the peanut butter cups and just use peanut butter chips?

Yes, you can substitute 1 cup of peanut butter chips for the chopped peanut butter cups. This will give you a fudge with a more uniform peanut butter flavor throughout, but it will lose the distinct chunks of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Fudge (3 Ingredient) – TipBuzz that make this recipe so special.

How do I cut the fudge cleanly?

For clean, sharp cuts, use a large, sharp chef’s knife. You can also run the knife under hot water and dry it off before each cut. This helps the knife glide through the fudge without sticking. For more cutting techniques, see this article on cutting boards on Wikipedia.
