Description
If you love the perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate, you’ll love this creamy and buttery Reese’s peanut butter fudge.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sticks of butter, unsalted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 30 miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups
- 1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, melted (optional)
Instructions
- Place butter and peanut butter in a sauce pan, heat on medium heat, stirring frequently until it boils and then remove from heat.
- Sift powdered sugar into a large bowl and add vanilla extract and peanut butter mixture.
- Mix until completely combined.
- Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper, enough so that it overflows out of the dish. This will make it easier for you to remove it later.
- Unwrap your Reese’s peanut butter cups and line them up at the bottom of the dish, bigger side on the bottom.
- Put your fudge mixture on top of the Reese’s, level and smooth it out and push down a bit to make sure it settles around each peanut butter cup.
- If you’re going to drizzle chocolate on top, melt your chocolate chips in the microwave, 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each 15 seconds until completely melted.
- Place melted chocolate either in a plastic sealed bag or a piping bag and drizzle across the top.
- Place fudge in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- Remove and slice into squares.
