Reese’s Pieces Fudge Recipe

Melting the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and stirring until smooth is all part of the recipe. The last thing that you want to have in fudge is chunks of any kind of ingredients. Take your time mixing together the peanut butter mixture before pouring it onto the parchment paper to start firming up.

There’s a reason that my boys are crazy about this recipe and it’s because it’s so good and packed full of chocolate and Reese’s Pieces! Who doesn’t love those crunchy little candies?!

Why is fudge called fudge?

Interesting question, right? No one really knows but it is thought to be connected to a recipe that some “fudged” and didn’t have it turn out quite right.

Reese's Pieces Fudge Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Additional Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes

This Reese's Pieces Fudge Recipe is a great dessert for any time of the year.

Ingredients

  • 1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 c white cake mix
  • 1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 c Reese’s peanut butter chips
  • Yellow and orange sprinkles
  • 1 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp Reese’s peanut butter chips
  • 1 4oz box Reese’s Pieces
  • Foil lined (or parchment paper) 2-quart glass baking dish

Instructions

Start by mixing the can of condensed milk with 1/2 cup of the white cake mix. Stir well and divide the mixture evenly between two different bowls.

Grab one of the bowls and add in a cup of Reese's peanut butter chips.

Put in the microwave for 60 seconds and remove and stir. If still lumpy, put back in the microwave for another 20 seconds. Be careful though and don't heat too much or you'll burn them.

Once melted, pour it into the parchment-lined baking dish. Smooth it out evenly.

Grab the second bowl and add in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Repeat the microwave process and then pour the melted mixture on top of the peanut butter mixture.

Smooth it out and cover evenly.

While still slightly warm, add on the sprinkles and a T of semi-sweet and peanut butter chips and a box of Reese's Pieces, too.

Slightly push down the toppings into the fudge with your fingers.

Pop in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until firm. Remove from pan, cut, and enjoy!
