Peanut Butter Cup Fudge

By: Sheila| Sweet Baked Life

Ingredients:
12 regular size peanut butter cups
1 (24 oz.) package milk chocolate chips
1 (8 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions:
Line a 8×8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Unwrap the peanut butter cups and place 9 peanut butter cups in the bottom of the pan. Coarsely chop the remaining 3 peanut butter cups and set aside.

In a medium-heat proof bowl, add the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Place in microwave and heat for 30 seconds. Stir and if needed, heat for another 30 seconds, checking at each 10 second interval to ensure the chocolate does not scorch. Mixture should be almost melted. Remove from microwave and stir until smooth.

Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter cups and smooth the top with the rubber spatula. Sprinkle the top with the chopped peanut butter cups. Place in the refrigerator until cool (about 1-2 hours). When ready to eat. Lift the fudge out of pan with the ends of the aluminum foil, then take the foil off and place on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut the fudge in small squares. Store in the refrigerator.
