Ingredients
  

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness and texture)

Chopped peanuts and sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dish: Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal. This will help in serving later.

    Melt Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until melted and smooth, making sure not to let it burn.

      Add Peanut Butter: Once the chocolate is fully melted, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Keep stirring until the peanut butter is well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

        Incorporate Powdered Sugar: If using, slowly add the powdered sugar to the mixture and stir until completely combined. This step is optional but adds a delightful sweetness and thicker texture.

          Pour into Dish: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly using a spatula. Tap the dish lightly on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.

            Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts and a pinch of sea salt on top for added crunch and flavor.

              Cool and Set: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.

                Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate peanut butter fudge!
