No Bake Reese's Fudge Bars Recipe image

This No Bake Reese's Fudge Bars recipe is the perfect combination of my two favorite things- Reese's peanut butter cups and fudge!

Provided by Momma Cyd

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

22 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
3 cups chocolate chips
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Line a 9 x 9 inch pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Place the peanut butter cups in an even layer on the bottom of the pan. (You should use 16 on the bottom)
  • Place chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir until chips and milk are melted together.
  • Once everything is melted together, spread evenly over peanut butter cups in prepared pan. Immediately sprinkle with the crumbled Reese's, pressing them lightly into the fudge.
  • Cool until firm. I like to cool the fudge on the counter until it is room temperature, then cover with plastic and place in the refrigerator to harden completely. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips for Making Superb Fudge Nut Bars:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the mixture from scorching.
  • Stir the mixture constantly: This will help to ensure that the mixture cooks evenly and does not burn.
  • Do not overcook the mixture: The mixture should be cooked until it reaches a soft-ball stage, which means that it will form a soft ball when dropped into cold water.
  • Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the nuts: This will help to prevent the nuts from burning.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan: This will help to ensure that the bars hold together well.
  • Chill the bars before cutting them: This will help to make them easier to cut and will also help to prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Fudge nut bars are a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With their rich, fudgy center and crunchy nut topping, these bars are sure to be a hit at any gathering. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give these fudge nut bars a try!
