Instructions
Prepare an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave safe container, combine the peanut butter with 2 tbsp of the sweetened condensed milk. Microwave for 15 seconds until melted. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
In a second microwave safe container, combine the chocolate chips and the remaining sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Pour or scoop out the peanut butter mixture on top. Spread evenly. Take a knife, spray it with cooking spray, and then run it through the two layers to combine, creating swirls.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 – 3 hours.
Cut the fudge into small squares to serve. Store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
• Fudge slices best with a sharp knife.• Warm your knife first by running it under hot water. Dry the knife with a clean cloth and use it to slice through.• Cold fudge slices more easily. Do not let it come to room temperature before cutting.• Fudge should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To ensure the fudge doesn't stick to each other, use a piece of wax or parchment paper to separate each piece. Fudge that is stored in the refrigerator will last between 2 to 3 weeks when it is kept in an air-tight container.• Dark chocolate would be wonderful, too! Use any type of chocolate chips that you’d like.
