Written by Lina Evans

This decadent Butterfinger Reese’s Fudge is the perfect combination of creamy peanut butter, rich chocolate, and crispy Butterfinger pieces!

Ingredients:

Chocolate Layer:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup Butterfinger candy bars, chopped
  • 1 cup mini Reese’s Pieces or chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Peanut Butter Layer:

  • 1 ½ cups peanut butter chips
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

Topping:

  • ½ cup mini Reese’s Pieces or chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
  • ½ cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Layer:
    • Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Fold in the chopped Butterfinger pieces and mini Reese’s Pieces. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Set aside.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Layer:
    • In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter chips, creamy peanut butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Spread the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate layer in the pan.
  3. Add the Toppings:
    • Sprinkle the top of the fudge with more Reese’s Pieces and chopped Butterfinger candy bars.
  4. Chill:
    • Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until set. Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.
