Make rich, layered fudge that tastes like a Snickers bar using simple ingredients and no baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided
  • 1 cup chopped salted peanuts
  • 1 cup caramel bits or soft caramel candies, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, for topping
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for topping

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until completely smooth. This is the base fudge.
  3. Stir the vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of the peanut butter into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped peanuts and chopped caramel bits. Do not overmix.
  5. Press half of the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. In a separate small bowl, microwave the remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter until slightly softened.
  7. Gently spread the softened peanut butter over the fudge layer in the pan.
  8. Top with the remaining fudge mixture and spread carefully to cover the peanut butter layer.
  9. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of butter. Microwave until melted and smooth.
  10. Pour the melted milk chocolate topping over the fudge and spread evenly.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
  12. Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into small squares before serving.

Notes

  • For a smoother caramel layer, warm the caramel bits slightly before folding them into the fudge mixture.
  • If you prefer a thicker peanut butter layer, use 3/4 cup of peanut butter for the swirl instead of 1/2 cup.
  • Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
