Ingredients
Scale
Main Chocolate Ingredients:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) white chocolate chips
- 3 ounces (85 grams) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chips
Milk and Cream Ingredients:
- 14 ounces (397 grams) sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
Flavoring and Mix-Ins:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups mini peanut butter cups
Instructions
- Create a smooth ganache by heating chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at 15-second intervals until fully combined and glossy.
- Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave at high power for 1 minute, then incorporate sweetened condensed milk. Heat at 70% power for 90 seconds, allowing brief resting periods and stirring until perfectly smooth. Blend in vanilla extract.
- Line an 8-inch pan with foil and spread approximately two-thirds of the vanilla fudge mixture evenly across the bottom.
- Artfully drizzle two-thirds of the prepared ganache over the vanilla fudge layer, creating gentle swirls using a toothpick. Scatter two-thirds of the mini peanut butter cups across the surface.
- Gently warm the remaining vanilla fudge for 5-10 seconds to enhance spreadability, then carefully distribute over the peanut butter cups. Drizzle the remaining ganache on top, creating delicate swirling patterns.
- Refrigerate the fudge for 2 hours or allow it to set at room temperature for 4 hours until completely firm. Slice into uniform squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Chocolate Melting Mastery Warm chocolate gently to prevent burning by using short microwave intervals and stirring frequently for smooth, silky ganache.
- Peanut Butter Cup Placement Chop mini peanut butter cups into smaller pieces for more even distribution and better texture throughout the fudge layers.
- Swirling Technique Use a toothpick or thin knife to create elegant marbled patterns when swirling ganache, ensuring delicate and visually appealing design.
- Storage Secrets Store fudge in an airtight container between layers of parchment paper in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness and prevent sticking.
