Sometimes all you need is simplicity.

As long as that simplicity includes a little peanut butter and chocolate, am I right?

The fact that this Coconut Oil Peanut Butter Fudge is also very pretty doesn’t hurt hurt either! Don’t you just love the marble effect?

 

 

COCONUT OIL PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE

I’ve had a lot on  the go as of late. My mind is bursting with things I need to get done and deadlines I have to keep my eye on.

Whew!

When life gets hectic and I’m running on less sleep than usual I tend to get a tad lazy in the eating department. Toast with jam masquerades a meal and bowls of cereal equals lunch. Yikes. Not ideal to say the least.

One thing for sure, my healthy snack game is ON POINT!

Enter this cold customer.

Oh, this fudge is something.

Just imagine the most indulgent, creamy, chocolaty, peanut buttery, velvety treat that just melt in your mouth. I’ve been slicing a piece into four squares and savoring every bite.

A little elegant marbling brings this uber-easy no bake treat to new heights.

It looks so fancy!

Just drizzling some melted dark chocolate and dragging a toothpick through it creates that marbled effect.

Fun. 🙂

Thankfully indulgences like this one are full of healthy fats that don’t actually make you fat! Amen to that.

Coconut Oil has a whole host of healthy benefits. Check –> this article <– for a comprehensive look on coconut oil and some science-backed uses.

    We just had to put our son on a dairy free diet and he was feeling down about all the foods he can’t eat. Just saw this recipe and it looked and sounded good. I asked him if he wanted to help me make it. He was very excited about it and very easy direction for kids. He didn’t measure the chocolate chip too carefully and when we swirled in the chocolate it turned into more like a chocolate peanut butter fudge so it didn’t look like your photos. Thank you for posting this recipe. It is very delicious and he is a very happy boy right now. The only problem I see is that it taste so good it is hard not to eat all of it.

    This is getting made today! I’m curious what kind of peanut butter you used? Does it need to be just peanuts without added oils? Thanks!

      Any nut butter I use lists only the nut on the label. For instance, my peanut butter ingredient label says: peanuts. Makes it easy. If it says other things, I put it down.

    I hope to make these tonight. Thoughts on almond butter instead of peanut butter? Would that work?

      Yes! Almond butter is a great substitute for peanut butter. Anytime, anyplace. 😉 Thanks Renee!!

    Hi! I’m a new vegan and I just couldn’t give up my sweets. I tried this recipe out and it turned out very oily. Is this normal? Do you have any suggestions?

      It should be solid but must be kept in the freezer or it will melt. If you find it’s too much coconut oil, I suppose you could reduce the amount? I have only made it as written, but I don’t find it to be oily once solidified.

    If I’m serving this at a party, will it melt?

      This fudge does melt at room temp. It’s too bad because it does not travel well at all. You could have your guests raid the freezer! 😉 Lol!

      Sorry Jennifer, I don’t have that for this recipe. I am hoping to add nutritional info very soon for all of my recipes. It is pretty low carb though!! Thanks. Have a great weekend.

      Totally up to you! I like a bit of saltiness with anything that has nuts but it can be optional. 🙂

    This fudge is having a party in my mouth! But I gave a question: what could I stuff into it to bulk it up? It’s sweet enough with one tablespoon of maple but I would sort of like there to be MORE of it. Any ideas?

      Toasted nuts for sure! Pecans would be awesome. How to: Toast Nuts on a Stove top Hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds anything with a little crunch. So happy you liked the recipe Sophie. Thanks!
