How to Make Butterfinger Reese’s Fudge

1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
2. Melt the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the creamy peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.
3. Add Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vanilla extract until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is well combined.
4. Layer the Fudge: Pour half of the peanut butter-chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the crushed Butterfinger on top.
5. Add More Layers: Pour the remaining peanut butter-chocolate mixture over the first layer and spread it evenly. Top with the remaining crushed Butterfinger, pressing it gently into the fudge.
6. Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firm.
7. Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve your Butterfinger Reese’s Fudge!

Tips

• Let it Set: Allowing the fudge to chill completely ensures a perfect texture for cutting.
• Use Good Quality Chocolate: The better the chocolate, the richer the fudge will be!

Substitutions and Variations

• Different Nut Butters: Substitute Reese’s peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a unique twist.
• Add Nuts: Chopped nuts like peanuts or walnuts can be added for extra crunch.

Make a Healthier Version
