A peanut butter layer topped with a chocolate layer, like a buckeye candy in fudge form. Made in the microwave and cut into bite-size squares.
Ingredients
Peanut butter layer
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3½ cups powdered sugar
Chocolate layer
- 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1/2 of a 14 ounce can)
- 1½ cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
Equipment
- microwave-safe bowl
- 9-inch square pan
- chef’s knife
Directions
- Microwave the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla in a glass bowl for 90 seconds, then stir until smooth. Gradually stir in the powdered sugar, about a cup at a time. Press into a greased or parchment-lined 8-9 inch pan.
- Microwave the condensed milk, chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons butter for 90 seconds (add 15 more seconds if needed). Stir until smooth and pour over the peanut butter layer.
- Let cool on the counter for at least 4 hours, or chill in the refrigerator. Slice into bite-size pieces.
Notes
Stovetop option: warm the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla over medium-low until smooth, then off heat stir in the powdered sugar; melt the chocolate layer in a bowl over simmering water. Store airtight in the refrigerator up to a week. Contains peanuts.
