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 Coconut Oil Peanut Butter 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 savouring 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.
So 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.

November 11, 2015 at 10:19 pmWe 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.

December 14, 2015 at 9:58 amThis 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!
Sharon
December 23, 2015 at 8:16 pmAny 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.

Sharon
March 15, 2016 at 11:33 amHey Chantell! Thanks for such a sweet comment. 🙂 Almost as sweet as the fudge! 😉 I understand about the double batch. Far to tempting not eat it all! Thanks again and enjoy the rest of your week.

April 7, 2016 at 3:33 pmI hope to make these tonight. Thoughts on almond butter instead of peanut butter? Would that work?
Sharon
April 8, 2016 at 11:54 amYes! Almond butter is a great substitute for peanut butter. Anytime, anyplace. 😉 Thanks Renee!!

November 26, 2016 at 6:46 pmHi! 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?
Sharon
November 27, 2016 at 11:58 amIt 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.

November 29, 2016 at 5:44 pmIf I’m serving this at a party, will it melt?
Sharon
November 30, 2016 at 12:40 pmThis 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!

October 7, 2018 at 12:32 pmIs there a breakdown as to what the carb and sugar content would be per serving?
Sharon
October 7, 2018 at 1:39 pmSorry 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.

October 20, 2018 at 1:08 pmIt’s SO good Elaine! Do be careful with this for parties though because it melts at room temp super fast. 🙂
