Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins and Toppings
- 1 cup chopped Butterfinger bars
- 1 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring there’s enough overhang on the sides to easily lift out the fudge later.
- Melt the chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, milk chocolate chips, and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth, melted, and fully combined without any lumps.
- Add vanilla and mix-ins: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Fold in the chopped Butterfinger bars and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, reserving a small amount of both to sprinkle on top.
- Pour and set: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved Butterfinger and Reese’s pieces over the top for garnish.
- Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut into 25 squares and enjoy this rich, candy-studded treat.
Notes
- Make sure to stir the chocolate mixture constantly over low heat to prevent burning and achieve a smooth texture.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips if you prefer a less sweet fudge.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container refrigerated for up to one week.
- For easier cutting, let the fudge sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Use fresh candy bars for the best texture and flavor.
