Guilt-Free Chocolate Peanut Fudge

To begin crafting your Decadent Bliss Chocolate Peanut Fudge, the first step involves preparing your baking pan. This is crucial for ensuring that your fudge can be easily removed without any hassle. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. This allows you to lift the fudge out easily once it’s set. Parchment paper not only prevents sticking but also helps maintain the integrity of the fudge during slicing. For best results, you can lightly grease the parchment paper with a bit of coconut oil or cooking spray, enhancing the ease of removal.

Ingredients

1 cup natural almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/2 cup pure maple syrup or agave nectar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (preferably 70% or higher)

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sea salt flakes

Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.

Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, unsweetened cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.

Transfer to Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula. Smooth out the top for an even finish.

Add Toppings (Optional): If you’d like, sprinkle your choice of toppings over the fudge: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of sea salt flakes for an added flavor contrast.

Chill the Fudge: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.

Slice and Serve: Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles, as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
