Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Carob powder
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line a small 8x8-inch baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Whisk in the carob powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
If adding chopped nuts, fold them into the mixture for extra texture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
Place the dish in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
Once the fudge has set, remove it from the freezer and use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan.
Slice the fudge into small squares and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
