Step 3. Use a medium saucepan over low heat and combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.

Step 4. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate is fully melted. Remove from heat.

Step 5. Carefully stir in 1 cup of the chopped Butterfingers until combined.

Step 6. Spread the mixture into the pan. Use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 7. Then sprinkle the reserved ½ cup of Butterfinger pieces over the top of the fudge. Press the candy bar pieces lightly into the fudge.

Storage

Room Temperature – Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Keep pieces separated with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Refrigerator – Lasts up to 2 weeks when chilled. Let sit at room temp a few minutes before serving for the best texture.

Freezer – Wrap fudge tightly in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Pro Tips

Use quality chocolate – A good brand of milk chocolate chips will give the fudge a smoother, richer flavor.
Line your pan – Always line your baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cuts.
Don’t overheat – Melt the chocolate and peanut butter chips slowly to avoid seizing or grainy texture.
Add Butterfingers last – Stir in the crushed candy bars gently at the end so they stay crunchy.
Cut when set – Wait until the fudge has fully chilled before slicing to get neat squares.
