Ingredients
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon flaky sea salt or Christmas sprinkles optional
Instructions
1. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir until fully melted and smooth.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the white chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is glossy and completely combined.
4. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
5. Top with flaky sea salt or festive sprinkles if desired.
6. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or until fully set.
7. Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 16 squares.
8. Serve chilled or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for an even creamier bite.
Notes
Do not cook the mixture over high heat, because overheating can make the fudge oily or grainy instead of smooth and creamy.
