Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir the mixture continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Add Peanut Butter
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter until well incorporated and smooth.
Step 4: Pour into the Pan
Spread the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 5: Chill the Fudge
Refrigerate the fudge for about 2 hours, or until it is firm to the touch.
Step 6: Cut and Serve
Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut the fudge into squares and serve.
