  • Prepare an 8x8 or 9x9 inch pan with cooking spray and parchment paper. Set aside. I trim the edges of the parment with scissors so the pan fits better into my fridge.
  • In a saucepan, over medium low heat, pour in sweetened condensed milk and heat until hot but NOT boiling.
  • Add white chocolate and peanut butter to the pot, stirring frequently until melted and smooth.

Notes

Can you make the Best Peanut Butter Fudge in the Microwave?

Combine all of the ingredients into a microwave safe bowl. Heating for only 30 seconds at a time, stirring thoroughly at every break, until only a few lumps remain.
The chocolate mixture will continue to melt outside your microwave so continue to stir until the last few lumps have disappeared and the mixture is smooth and blended.
Although tempting, do not microwave for longer than 30 seconds at a time or your chocolate mixture can and will burn. The chocolate will ruin and you will end up starting over. 
Add chopped treats and pour into your prepared pan. Decorate and refrigerate!
