Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil until fully liquefied.
Add the coconut cream to the saucepan and whisk until well combined and slightly warmed, being careful not to bring it to a boil.
Add the dark chocolate chips to the saucepan, stirring constantly until they are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sea salt until all ingredients are fully integrated.
If using nuts, stir them into the mixture at this stage.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours, or until completely set and firm to touch.
Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into 16 equal squares.
Store the fudge bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!
