Ingredients
Fudge
| 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk (each 1¼ cup/300 mL) |
| 1 cup (250 mL) peanut butter, preferably smooth |
| ½ tsp (2 mL) salt |
| 2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla |

| 10 oz (300 g) peanut butter chips |
| 3 tbsp (45 mL) peanuts, coarsely chopped |
Directions
Line an 8x8-inch (2-L) square baking pan with aluminum foil so the edges overhang the sides. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine 1 can of condensed milk, ½ cup (125 mL) peanut butter and ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt, stirring continuously just until bubbly. Remove from heat and immediately stir in chocolate chips and 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla. Scrape into prepared pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate while making peanut butter layer.
