Ingredients
-
3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
-
1 cup creamy peanut butter
-
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
-
2 cups white chocolate chips
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
Optional: ½ cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
-
Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Lightly grease the parchment to prevent sticking.
-
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until smooth and fully blended. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
-
While the mixture is warm, fold in the white chocolate chips until fully melted and incorporated, creating a creamy texture.
-
Gradually fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, coating each piece evenly. Be gentle to maintain the crunch.
-
If desired, fold in chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press down evenly using a spatula or back of a spoon. Smooth the top for an even surface.
-
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. For faster setting, place in the freezer for 30–40 minutes.
-
Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
-
Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture.
-
Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the fudge set evenly and slice neatly.
-
Customize with mini chocolate chips, Nutella swirls, or colored sprinkles for festive occasions.
-
Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
