1. 1

   Line an 8x8" square baking pan with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.

   Place a sauté pan with about 2 inches of water over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Place 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a heat proof bowl with 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil and 1/2 of the can of the sweetened condensed milk. Place the bowl into the pan of simmering water and reduce heat to low (this is your double boiler).

   Stir the chocolate mixture with a rubber scraper until smooth, then add 1/4 cup of the chopped peanuts and stir until combined.

4. 4

   Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

   Stir in the remaining sweetened condensed milk until well incorporated.

7. 7

   Pour the peanut butter fudge mixture over the chocolate mixture and spread evenly.

8. 8

   Press the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts into the top, and chill for a minimum of 2 hours or until set. Once chilled, lift the fudge out of the pan and remove the foil. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares. Serve and enjoy!
