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 to prevent sticking and set it aside for later use.
- Heat Ingredients: Add the coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, cane sugar, and a pinch of salt to a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat.
- Mix Until Smooth: Whisk the mixture frequently to ensure the coconut oil fully melts and all ingredients combine smoothly without lumps.
- Pour Mixture Into Dish: Once smooth, pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking dish in the freezer for at least 2 hours to allow the fudge to harden completely.
- Serve: Remove the fudge from the freezer, trim any uneven edges if needed, cut into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle with additional sea salt for a flavor boost, and enjoy!
Notes
- Calories are per piece and are an estimation.
- I used Trader Joe’s unsalted peanut butter, which worked great for this recipe.
- You can substitute coconut sugar instead of cane sugar, and honey instead of maple syrup; however, these substitutions will alter the flavor slightly.
