Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge
This rich and creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge is made with just five simple ingredients and no refined sugar. Naturally sweetened and freezer-friendly, it’s the perfect healthy treat for toddlers and grown-ups alike — no baking required!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted, not solid
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a loaf pan (for thicker fudge), or an 8x8 baking dish (if you don't have a loaf pan) with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the fudge later.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish or pan, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.
- Place the fudge in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Once the fudge is set, remove it from the freezer and use the parchment paper to lift it out of the dish or pan. Cut into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
- Serve immediately, and store in the freezer. The fudge will soften very quickly upon removing from the freezer.
Notes
Serving Size: Cut the fudge into small squares suitable for toddler portions.
Texture Tip: For a firmer texture, ensure the fudge is fully set in the freezer before slicing.
Flavor Variations: Add chopped nuts, dried fruits, or a sprinkle of coconut or sea salt on top before freezing for added texture and flavor.
