- ¼ teaspoon of salt
Tools

Put half of the sweetened condensed milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat. Stir them constantly until they are smooth. Take it off the heat and mix in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. - Get the peanut butter mix to melt.
In a different saucepan, melt the white chocolate chips, peanut butter, the rest of the sweetened condensed milk, and the melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth. Take it off the heat and add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Stack and swirl.
In an 8×8-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper, alternate spoonfuls of the chocolate and peanut butter mixtures. - Make the swirl.
Use a knife or skewer to gently pull the fudge through, mixing the chocolate and peanut butter together. - Let it cool and set.
Put in the fridge for at least two hours or until firm. - Cut and serve.
Once the fudge has set, use the parchment paper to take it out, cut it into squares, and enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
- Use peanut butter that is smooth. Natural peanut butter can be too oily and not mix well with the fudge.
- Melt the chocolates one at a time. This keeps the swirl pattern clear and clean.
- Don’t mix the swirl too much! To make pretty swirls in the fudge without mixing everything together, gently drag a knife through it.
- Let it sit for a while. To get perfect slices, chill for at least two hours before cutting.
- Add some extra flair! For more flavor and texture, add some crushed peanuts or a pinch of flaky sea salt on top.
Variations
- If you don’t want to use dairy, use dairy-free chocolate and coconut condensed milk.
- For even more nuttiness, add ½ tsp of peanut butter extract to the mix.
- For a crunchy version, add chopped peanuts or crushed pretzels before swirling.
- For a milder, sweeter fudge, use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
Storage
- Keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Want to keep it for a longer time? You can freeze the fudge for up to three months. Before serving, let it thaw.
