Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 4 Kit Kat bars, chopped
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x9 inch baking pan by lining it completely with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and fully melted.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture, stirring thoroughly to create a uniform, glossy fudge base.
- Roughly chop the Kit Kat bars into small, uneven pieces, reserving a few pieces for topping.
- Gently fold most of the chopped Kit Kat pieces into the fudge mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the reserved Kit Kat pieces on top of the fudge, pressing them lightly into the surface.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until completely set and firm.
- Using the overhanging parchment paper, lift the fudge out of the pan and place on a cutting board.
- Cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips
- Use High-Quality Chocolate Chips: Opt for good-quality milk chocolate chips for a richer flavor and smoother texture in your fudge.
- Microwave in Intervals: When melting the chocolate and peanut butter, be patient and microwave in 30-second intervals to prevent burning. Stirring in between helps achieve a silky consistency.
- Customize Your Fudge: Feel free to mix in other candies or nuts along with the Kit Kat pieces for a unique twist. M&Ms or crushed pretzels can add extra flavor and texture!
- Chill Properly: For the best results, let the fudge chill in the refrigerator for a full 2 hours. This ensures it sets properly and is easy to cut into neat squares.
- Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking pan with parchment paper not only makes it easier to remove the fudge later but also helps keep it from sticking.
- Store Correctly: Keep your fudge in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain its freshness for up to a week—if it lasts that long!
