Ingredients
3 cups butterscotch chips
1 cup peanut butter, crunchy or smooth
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease the pan.
- Place the butterscotch chips and peanut butter in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until firm.
- Lift the fudge from the pan and cut into squares before serving.
Notes
- Smooth peanut butter makes a creamier fudge, while crunchy peanut butter adds extra texture.
- For easier slicing, let the fudge sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Tips For Success
- Stir thoroughly after each microwave interval to prevent the butterscotch chips from scorching.
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner cuts.
- Chill completely before slicing for the neatest fudge squares.
