Create rich, melt-in-your-mouth Buckeye Fudge combining creamy peanut butter and decadent chocolate layers. This simple, no-bake recipe delivers the classic flavor combination perfect for holiday treats or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (half of a 14-ounce can)
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and creamy peanut butter together until smooth.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until fully combined and the mixture is thick.
  5. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not overheat.
  7. Pour the chocolate topping evenly over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Spread carefully to cover the entire surface.
  8. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  9. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into small squares.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use room temperature butter when mixing the peanut butter layer.
  • If the chocolate topping seems too thick to pour, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin it slightly.
  • Store this homemade candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
