Make this simple, rich Buckeye Fudge that combines creamy peanut butter and decadent chocolate layers. This no-bake candy is perfect for holiday trays or any sweet craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (about half of a 14-ounce can)
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture, beating until fully combined and thick.
  4. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
  5. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
  6. Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Spread gently to cover the entire surface.
  7. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  8. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares for serving.

Notes

  • For the best texture, ensure your butter is truly softened, not melted.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer chocolate topping, you can add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the melted chocolate mixture.
  • Store leftover Buckeye Fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
