You have no idea how easy, Easy Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge really is!

Looking for an easy holiday treat that will be a hit with everyone? Look no further! Last year, while trying to figure out a treat for my snow plow guy, I figured I would try something new since I love peanut butter. I came up with Easy Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge.

Ingredients: 
1 (12 oz.) pkg. Reeses Peanut Butter Chips
1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

MICROWAVE METHOD: In 1 quart microwave dish combine chips with sweetened milk. Cook on 100% power (high) 3 minutes; stir until chips melt and mixture is smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients. Spread evenly into wax paper lined 9 inch square pan. Chill about 2 hours or until firm. Turn fudge onto cutting board; peel off paper and cut into squares.

If want, substitute 12 ounce package Nestle’s Semi-Sweet chocolate chips for the Reeses Peanut Butter Chips to make chocolate fudge. Make according to directions above with the rest of the ingredients.

Please note that those who have peanut allergies might not be able to have Easy Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge. So this recipe for Easy Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge can also be changed to white chocolate, dark chocolate or even mint and chocolate for an added flair for your fudge making.

I think I also like this recipe because there is very little clean up and it is fun to lick the bowl. Mainly because I am a peanut butter fan. I love when the kids want to help too!

Enjoy!
