Ingredients

  • 3 12- packs of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Regular size packs
  • 24 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cans of sweetened condensed milk 14 oz. cans

Instructions

  • Wrap your pan with tin foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Unwrap candy from 2 of the Reese's packages.
  • Place the unwrapped cups in rows in your 9x13" pan. You should be able to fit 4 rows of 6 cups each.
  • Next start pouring the chocolate chips into a pan.
  • Pour one can of sweetened condensed milk into the bowl with the chocolate chips.
  • Put the pan on the stove and start melting this mixture together, stirring often.
  • When your mixture on the stove is ready, pour it over the peanut butter cups. Spread the chocolate (covering all of the cups) all of the way to the corners of the pan.
  • Take the bowl of cut-up Reese's cups and sprinkle them over the top of the fudge mixture, pressing them into the chocolate ever so slightly. The deeper you push them in, the more they will melt. If you want a chunkier bar, just basically let them sit on top of the fudge.
  • Let the pan cool for a bit on the counter then throw it in the fridge to cool completely. Cut the fudge into squares when you're ready to go!

Notes

  1. Even Chocolate Coverage: When pouring the melted chocolate mixture over the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, ensure that it covers all of the cups evenly, reaching the corners of the pan. This ensures that every bite of fudge has a perfect balance of chocolate and peanut butter flavor. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate mixture evenly, if needed.
  2. Pressing Reese's Cups: When sprinkling the cut-up Reese's Peanut Butter Cups over the fudge mixture, press them into the chocolate slightly to help them adhere. Adjust the depth at which you press the Reese's cups based on your preference for chunkiness in the fudge. Pressing them deeper will result in a more integrated and smoother texture, while leaving them on top will create distinct layers of chocolate and peanut butter.
  3. Chilling Time: Allow the fudge to cool completely in the refrigerator before cutting it into squares. This helps the fudge set properly and ensures clean cuts. If you're in a hurry, you can speed up the chilling process by placing the pan in the freezer for a shorter amount of time. Once chilled, use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares for serving.
