Ingredients

Fudge Ingredients

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup chopped peanuts
1 cup caramel sauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.

Instructions

Prepare the pan

Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

Melt the chocolate

In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Stir until completely melted and smooth.

Add peanut butter

Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.

Layer the fudge

Spread half of the chocolate-peanut butter mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top, then drizzle with caramel sauce. Pour the remaining fudge mixture on top and spread evenly.

Set the fudge

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares.

Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips for Perfect Fudge

To achieve the perfect fudge consistency, ensure that you melt the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk slowly over low heat. Stir continuously to avoid burning the chocolate, as this could affect the texture and flavor. If you find that the mixture is too thick, adding a splash of milk can help achieve a smoother consistency.

If you prefer a firmer fudge, consider refrigerating it for a longer period. While one hour is sufficient, letting it set overnight will result in a more solid texture, making it easier to cut into neat squares. Remember to let the fudge sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving, as this will enhance the flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Snickers Fudge squares on a decorative plate or in cupcake liners for a fun presentation. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert that elevates the flavor experience. The creamy ice cream complements the richness of the fudge, creating a delightful contrast that will leave your taste buds dancing.

For a festive touch, consider drizzling the fudge with extra caramel sauce or chocolate ganache before serving. You can also sprinkle some chopped peanuts or sea salt on top for added flavor and texture. This small touch can make a big difference, turning a simple treat into a stunning centerpiece.

Storage and Shelf Life

To ensure your Snickers Fudge stays fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Properly stored, it can last for up to two weeks. If you want to keep it for a longer period, consider freezing it. Simply cut the fudge into squares, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and place them in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.

When you're ready to enjoy the frozen fudge, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Avoid microwaving it directly from the freezer, as this can change the texture. By following these storage tips, you can enjoy your delicious fudge long after it’s made!
