Prepare an 8x8 metal pan with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
In a large microwave safe mixing bowl, add butter and peanut butter. Melt in the microwave for a full 90 seconds. Remove and stir until completely smooth.
One cup at a time, add icing sugar and mix until no sugar streaks remain.
Transfer to your prepared pan and smooth as evenly as possible.
Top with chopped Reese’s cups until the whole top is covered.
Depending on the temperature of your kitchen, let the fudge set in the fridge for 2 hours or at room temperature for 4 hours.
Lift fudge onto a cutting board using the parchment paper. Slice into your desired number of squares and serve.

Line the Pan: Use parchment paper or foil with an overhang so you can lift the fudge out easily.
Add the Icing Sugar Gradually: Mixing in one cup at a time helps prevent dry pockets.
Top while Soft: Arrange the Reese’s cups right after smoothing the fudge so they stick.
Use a Sharp Knife: Once the fudge is fully set, wipe the blade between cuts to keep the edges neat.
Room Temperature Tip:Kitchen temperature affects how quickly fudge sets, so allow about 2 hours in the fridge or 4 hours at room temperature.
Counter: Store out of direct sunlight in an airtight container for about 3 days.
Refrigerator: Store the fudge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Freezer: Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months, with parchment paper between layers. Let the pieces thaw before serving.
Serving: Let refrigerated pieces sit at room temperature briefly for a softer bite.
