Tips & Tricks

• Microwave with Care: Heat the peanut butter chips in 30-second intervals, stirring each time to avoid scorching.
• Line the Pan: Use parchment paper for easy removal and mess-free slicing.
• Level It Out: Tap the pan on the counter gently after pouring the mixture to flatten it evenly.
• Chill Completely: Let the fudge chill for at least 4 hours in the fridge for the best texture and clean cuts.
• Use a Sharp Knife: For perfect slices, use a sharp knife and clean it between cuts for a polished look.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of frosting?

Yes! Vanilla or cream cheese frosting would work, but white frosting allows the peanut butter flavor to shine.

Can I melt the ingredients on the stovetop instead?

Absolutely! Use a double boiler to gently melt the peanut butter chips and frosting together.

How long will this fudge last?

Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Can I add mix-ins?

Yes! Try folding in chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or even crushed pretzels for a fun twist.

What if I don’t have Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips?

You can substitute another brand of peanut butter chips, but the flavor might vary slightly.
