Make this rich and creamy Buckeye Fudge for a simple, decadent treat. This no-bake recipe combines classic peanut butter and chocolate flavors, perfect for holidays or any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3½ cups powdered sugar
  • 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (half of a 14-ounce can)
  • 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until smooth.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase speed to medium and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
  6. Pour the chocolate topping evenly over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Spread gently to cover the surface.
  7. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  8. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into small squares before serving.

Notes

  • For a cleaner cut, chill the fudge completely before slicing into squares.
  • You can use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet if you prefer a sweeter topping.
  • Store leftover Buckeye Fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
