Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1 1/4 cup peanut butter (preferably unsalted)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • Pinch of salt, plus more for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside to ensure easy removal of the fudge later.
  2. Heat and combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, cane sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture frequently to help melt the coconut oil and sugar while combining all ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Achieve smooth consistency: Continue whisking until the coconut oil has completely melted and the mixture becomes smooth and uniform without any lumps.
  4. Freeze the fudge: Pour the smooth mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place the dish in the freezer for at least 2 hours to allow the fudge to harden and set properly.
  5. Serve: Once hardened, remove the fudge from the freezer. Trim any uneven edges if desired, cut the fudge into bite-size pieces, sprinkle with additional sea salt on top for flavor contrast, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Calories provided are approximate per piece and may vary based on exact ingredient brands and portion sizes.
  • Trader Joe’s unsalted peanut butter was used for the best flavor and texture results.
  • You may substitute coconut sugar for cane sugar and honey for maple syrup; however, this will slightly alter the flavor profile.
