Ingredients:
– 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
– 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Heart-shaped sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions:
1. Prepare a square baking pan (8×8 inches) by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray and set the pan aside.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. If using a microwave, heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. If using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips with the sweetened condensed milk over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
3. Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and the fudge mixture is velvety and glossy.
4. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle heart-shaped sprinkles on top of the fudge for a charming touch.
5. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours, or until it is firm and set. Once the fudge has hardened, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into small squares or heart shapes using a sharp knife.
6. Serve your Here’s My Heart Fudge on a pretty platter or package it in decorative bags or boxes to share with loved ones. Enjoy the creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture and the delightful blend of chocolate and peanut butter flavors in each bite.
7. Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also freeze the fudge for longer storage; simply thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.
