Homemade Reese’s Fudge
Reese’s peanut butter cups have been one of my favorite candy bars since I was a kid. I still love them!
There’s just something about that blend of chocolate and peanut butter that is absolutely perfect!
This easy fudge recipe is inspired by the candy bar classic, with layers of rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter fudge. In fact, this dessert recipe might even be more decadent than the original because we loaded it with Reese’s cup pieces and a chocolate drizzle! Talk about the ultimate sweet treat!
We have quite a few homemade fudge recipes on the blog that you can make in the microwave (like this 3-ingredient Nutella fudge). This Reese’s fudge is a stove top recipe, but I promise it is well worth it! You’ve never had a chocolate peanut butter treat like this one!
Want to please a crowd of chocolate lovers? Whip up a batch of this rich, creamy fudge that’s loaded with peanut butter cups! Taste buds will go wild for this sweet and salty combination!

Kitchen Supplies Used
Instructions
Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Make the Chocolate Layer
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk, and butter into a saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir this mixture until melted and smooth, then pour into your prepared pan.
Allow the chocolate layer to chill for about 30 minutes before making the peanut butter fudge.
Make the Peanut Butter Layer
In a small saucepan, melt the peanut butter baking chips, butter, peanut butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir over medium low heat, until completely smooth.
Pour on top of the chocolate layer. Gently spread with an offset spatula so that the layer is even.
Decorate!
Place chocolate chops in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth. Scoop into a piping bag and cut off the tip.
Drizzle the melted chocolate on top of the fudge. You can also use the tip of a butter knife to swirl the melted chocolate down into the peanut butter layer (similar to how we make pumpkin swirl cheesecake).
Add the Reese’s cup pieces on top and gently press into the fudge so they stay in place.
Allow to set completely, then cut into squares and store.
How to Store Homemade Fudge
Your homemade fudge can last up to 2-3 weeks when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Do not keep fudge in the refrigerator, as this will negatively affect the texture, making the fudge turn dry and crumbly.
Can You Freeze Fudge?
Yes, you can freeze homemade fudge, if you’d like to keep it longer than a couple weeks. When frozen, fudge can stay good for up to 3 months.
To freeze, cut fudge into squares and wrap the individual pieces in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Place them in a large freezer bag. This way you can pull out a piece any time you’d like!
To thaw the fudge all at once, move the bag to the fridge for 10-12 hours to soften. After that you can keep at room temperature.
