Instructions

Line an 8×8" square baking pan with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.

Place a sauté pan with about 2 inches of water over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Place 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a heat proof bowl with 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil and 1/2 of the can of the sweetened condensed milk. Place the bowl into the pan of simmering water and reduce heat to low (this is your double boiler).

Stir the chocolate mixture with a rubber scraper until smooth, then add 1/4 cup of the chopped peanuts and stir until combined.

Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Place the peanut butter and remaining coconut oil in a microwaveable bowl and microwave for 30 seconds or until melted, then stir to combine.

Stir in the remaining sweetened condensed milk until well incorporated.

Pour the peanut butter fudge mixture over the chocolate mixture and spread evenly.

Press the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts into the top, and chill for a minimum of 2 hours or until set. Once chilled, lift the fudge out of the pan and remove the foil. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Tempering Chocolate for Shine ✨
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil at low heat (around 110°F), stirring constantly to achieve a glossy finish and prevent grainy texture in your final fudge.
Sweetened Condensed Milk Consistency 🥛
Room-temperature sweetened condensed milk blends more smoothly into peanut butter layers; gently warm the can in hot water for 2-3 minutes before opening if it's been refrigerated.
Peanut Positioning Strategy 🥜
Press salted peanuts into the warm peanut butter layer rather than the final chocolate layer so they stay firmly embedded and provide better texture contrast throughout each bite.
Chilling Timing for Perfect Cuts 🧊
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until completely firm, then let fudge sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before cutting with a warm knife to achieve clean, square pieces.
Layer Cooling Between Steps ❄️
Allow each chocolate layer to set for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator before adding the next layer; this prevents mixing and creates distinct, visually appealing stratified layers.
