Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 1 sleeve)
Chocolate Layer
- 1 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips (one 12 oz package)
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Make the Peanut Butter Layer: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the melted butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and graham cracker crumbs using a large fork until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into a 13×9 inch baking pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour, allowing the layer to set firm.
- Prepare the Chocolate Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir the mixture until it is melted and smooth with no lumps.
- Assemble and Chill: Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled peanut butter layer. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 2 hours or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Serve and Store: Once firm, cut the fudge into squares and serve. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Pressing the peanut butter layer firmly into the pan ensures a stable base.
- Microwave times may vary; stir every 20 seconds if needed to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Storing fudge in an airtight container in the fridge helps keep it fresh for up to 2 weeks.
- For easier cutting, let the fudge sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.
