Reese’s Fudge

This Reese’s Fudge combines chocolate fudge and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups! It’s an easy fudge with sweetened condensed milk so it’s no fail – and there is peanut butter in every bite!

Peanut Butter Cup Fudge

Reese’s fudge is the best because it has chopped up peanut butter cups sprinkled throughout the entire pan. This recipe takes Reese’s to the extreme! I originally made this by placing the peanut butter cups in the bottom of the pan, but I think I prefer chopping them and stirring them in the fudge – it’s prettier that way.

This fudge has so many Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in it to make it feel like you’re biting into a giant Reese’s!

Ingredients Needed

• Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups: I use full size candy, but you can use miniature if that’s what you have.
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: A major component in easy fudge.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk: This is the magic of the fudge – helps melt the chocolate and keep it soft enough to turn into fudge.

How to make Reese’s Fudge

• Chop peanut butter cups until chunky. Reserve about ¼ cup for the top of the fudge.
• Place chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave safe bowl. Heat 1 minute on high, then stir, then heat in additional 30 second increments, stirring after, until melted and smooth.
• Once everything is melted together, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Stir in chopped peanut butter cups and press into a 9×9-inch pan that’s been lined with foil or parchment paper and sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Immediately sprinkle with reserved peanut butter cups, pressing lightly to adhere them.
• Cool until firm. I like to cool the fudge on the counter until it’s close to room temperature, then cover with plastic and place in the refrigerator to harden completely. Cut into squares and serve.

Expert Tips

• Use parchment paper or foil to line your pan when making fudge. This will make the removal of the fudge easier after it has cooled. 
• It’s important to assemble all your ingredients before starting because making Reese’s fudge goes fast – you want everything ready for you.
• You can also make this on the stove top by melting the chocolate in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly and don’t leave it alone or it’ll burn.
