Say goodbye to refined sugar-laden fudge and say hello to this healthier freezer version! Made with protein-packed peanut butter and heart-healthy coconut oil, you'll wonder how you ever did without this refined sugar-free version! Be sure to store this fudge in the freezer for the best texture as it will soften quickly at room temperature. For a crunchy fudge, stir in a couple handfuls of rice crisp cereal.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (500 gram) jar all-natural smooth peanut butter (about 1.5 cups)
  • 3/4 cup virgin coconut oil
  • 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt (or fine grain sea salt)*
For dark chocolate drizzle:
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (pure)

Directions:

  1. Line an 8-inch square pan with two pieces of tin foil (cut to the size of the pan), one going each direction. Lightly spray the tin foil with non stick spray.
  2. Melt 3/4 cup coconut oil in a small pot over the lowest heat. When melted, remove from heat.
  3. Add peanut butter into a large bowl and beat with electric beaters until smooth. Stir in the rest of the fudge ingredients (melted coconut oil, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla) until combined.
  4. With a spatula, pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth out. Set aside.
  5. For the dark chocolate drizzle: Melt 1 tbsp coconut oil over low heat in a small pot. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder and maple syrup until smooth. With a spoon, drizzle the chocolate mixture all over the top of the peanut butter mixture. With a knife "swirl" the knife into the chocolate mixture to create a swirl pattern.
  6. Transfer the pan to a flat/level spot in the freezer and freeze, uncovered, for about 45-60 minutes, until completely solid. Cut into small squares and enjoy!
  7. Store leftovers in the freezer. The fudge will melt at room temperature so it's best not to let this sit out for longer than a few minutes.

Note: If your peanut butter is salted, you can reduce the salt accordingly or skip it all together.
