Step 1
Start by lining an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of an overhang on the sides so it’s easier to lift the fudge out later. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt. Microwave this mixture on high for about 2 minutes, then give it a good stir until it’s smooth and creamy. Next, mix in the peanut butter and pop it back in the microwave for another minute. Once melted together, stir in the vanilla extract until everything is silky and well combined. Pour this mixture into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 2
In a separate small microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter chips and milk. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. If it’s not quite smooth yet, keep microwaving in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until it’s nice and creamy. Pour this over the chocolate-peanut butter layer and smooth the top out. Pop the whole pan in the fridge and let it chill for around 2 hours, or until firm. Once set, you can lift it out using the parchment paper and cut into squares. Enjoy!
