Ingredients

1 ¼ cup (8 ounces) white chocolate melting wafers
⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk , divided in half
1 ½ cups (10 ounces) chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips

Instructions

Prep. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper or foil.
Peanut butter layer. In a microwave-safe bowl, add 1 1/4 cups white chocolate, 1/3 cup peanut butter, and 1/2 the can of condensed milk. Microwave 1 minute at 50% power. Stir 15 seconds. If lumps remain, microwave another 15 to 30 seconds. Stir until smooth.
Pour into pan. Pour evenly into the pan and make a smooth layer with a rubber spatula. Try to move quickly as it tends to thicken fast. Place in the refrigerator 30 minutes, or until firm.
Chocolate layer. In another microwave-safe bowl, add 1 1/2 cups chocolate and the remaining 1/2 of the condensed milk. Microwave 1 minute at 50% power. Stir 15 seconds. If lumps remain, microwave another 15 to 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Pour the fudge over the peanut butter and make a smooth layer with a rubber spatula.
Refrigerate. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or until firm. When ready to serve, slice into 36 1-inch squares.

Notes

Double boiler: Feel free to melt the chocolate in a double boiler on the stovetop instead of the microwave.

Variation: Sprinkle chopped Reese's peanut butter cups, pretzels, or chopped peanuts over top if you want to take the peanut butter flavor up a notch.

Storage: Store in an airtight container on the counter up to 5 days. This fudge will stay fresh 2 to 3 weeks in the refrigerator and 3+ months in the freezer.
