Fudge Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cane sugar
- Pinch of salt, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Heat ingredients: Add the coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, cane sugar, and a pinch of salt to a medium saucepan. Place it over medium heat.
- Mix until smooth: Whisk frequently as the mixture warms, ensuring the coconut oil melts completely and all ingredients blend into a smooth, cohesive fudge batter.
- Freeze to set: Pour the smooth mixture into the prepared baking dish and transfer it to the freezer. Let it chill for at least 2 hours until the fudge hardens completely.
- Serve: Remove the fudge from the freezer. If needed, trim the edges for a clean look. Cut into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle with extra sea salt on top, and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Calories are per piece and are an estimation.
- Trader Joe’s unsalted peanut butter was used and worked great for this recipe.
- You can substitute coconut sugar instead of cane sugar and honey instead of maple syrup; however, flavor will be slightly altered.
