This.Is.Amazing. Reese’s Peanut Butter Surprise Fudge…I mean it immediately makes your tongue salivate. There are not many foods in this world that are amazing as chocolate and peanut butter together!

And the best way to combine chocolate and peanut butter for the most effective peanutty chocolate experience is in the form of creamy, rich and delicious fudge! 

Not only that, but this is a fun recipe because it is peanut butter cup SURPRISE! And…it’s no sweat to whip up! In fact, it will probably be easier than any cookie, brownie, dessert that you can make, but the reception will most likely be through the roof – especially for the effort!

Enough chit-chat, let’s get the to chocolatey, nutty of the recipe!

Ingredients needed for Peanut Butter Cup Surprise Fudge:

  • 9 regular size peanut butter cups
  • 2 cups of semi-chocolate chips (or one full bag 11.5 oz)
  • 1 14oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 TBSP of butter
  • 1 tsp. of vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp of salt

How To Make Peanut Butter Cup Surprise Fudge:

  • Using an 8×8 pan, cover the pan in foil. Spray with cooking spray.
  • In a bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butter in slices and the condensed milk. Microwave for 60 seconds.
  • Stir the mixture until it is creamy. You most likely will not need to melt any further, as you stir, the chocolate will finish melting. You don’t want to over-melt as this means burning the chocolate, which is easy to do.
  • Pour half of the mixture into the pan and spread it evenly.
  • Unwrap the peanut butter cups and line them up in the bottom of the pan 3×3.
  • Then pour the remaining mixture over the peanut butter cups and spread evenly.
  • If you want, you can top the fudge with chopped peanut butter cups.
