Ingredients

• 2 cups white chocolate chips (use high-quality like Guittard or Ghirardelli)
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan

Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

2. Melt Ingredients

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and peanut butter.

Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until fully melted and smooth. This typically takes about 1 minute total.

3. Add Vanilla

Stir in the vanilla extract once the mixture is smooth.

4. Set the Fudge

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

5. Slice and Serve

Remove from the pan using parchment overhang. Cut into small squares and enjoy.

Storage

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 2–3 weeks.
