Ingredients

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups chopped Snickers bars (about 6 fun-sized bars)
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips or creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup marshmallow creme (optional for extra creaminess)
  • ½ cup chopped salted peanuts (for topping)
  • ½ cup caramel sauce (for drizzling, optional)

Optional Add-Ins:

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt for a salty-sweet twist
  • ½ cup crushed pretzels for added crunch

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

  1. Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper or foil.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3: Add the Snickers and Peanut Butter

  1. Fold in the chopped Snickers bars and peanut butter chips (or peanut butter) into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.

Step 4: Pour the Fudge Mixture

  1. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  2. If using, drop spoonfuls of marshmallow creme over the fudge and swirl it through with a knife for a marbled effect.

Step 5: Add Toppings

  1. Sprinkle the top with chopped salted peanuts and drizzle with caramel sauce for extra flavor.
  2. Gently press the toppings into the fudge so they adhere.

Step 6: Chill the Fudge

  1. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firm. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment or foil overhang.
  2. Cut the fudge into squares and serve.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve the Snickers Fudge chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Cooking Notes

  • Peanut Butter: If using creamy peanut butter instead of peanut butter chips, make sure to mix it well with the melted chocolate for a smooth consistency.
  • Chopping Snickers: You can freeze the Snickers bars for a few minutes before chopping to make them easier to cut.

Variations
