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.

Charlotte
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.
Sharon
Yay! Thanks so much for the great comment, Charlotte. 🙂 So glad that your little guy can enjoy a tasty treat and I love that he helped make it too. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Rar Farmer
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!
Sharon
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.
Arianne
Can I use honey instead of maple syrup
Sharon
Absolutely! 🙂
Chantell
I make this every other week. Its my favorite sweet treat. I’ve had to not make double batches anymore because I just sit down and end up eating the entire thing haha. Best pinterest find hands down. Love love love it. =)
Sharon
Hey 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.
Renee
I hope to make these tonight. Thoughts on almond butter instead of peanut butter? Would that work?
Sharon
Yes! Almond butter is a great substitute for peanut butter. Anytime, anyplace. 😉 Thanks Renee!!
Kristy
This is amazing!!! This is a keeper!! Thank You!
Sharon
Thanks Kristy! I tend to agree on this one. 😉 Have a great weekend!

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?
Sharon
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.
C
If I’m serving this at a party, will it melt?
Sharon
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!
Jennifer
Delicious!!
Sharon
That’s for sure! Thanks Jennifer. Happy Sunday. 🙂
Melanie
Omg I am in love. This recipe is soooo good. Thank you for sharing it because it is now my guilty pleasure.
Sharon
Thanks Melanie! I LOVE this recipe too. So easy and SO yummy.
Jennifer
Is there a breakdown as to what the carb and sugar content would be per serving?
Sharon
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.
Elaine
Pinning this for a Hallowe’en party treat! Yum. 🙂
Sharon
It’s SO good Elaine! Do be careful with this for parties though because it melts at room temp super fast. 🙂
Alexandra Phillips
wow tasty vegan.. with coconut oil peanut butter fudge…
looks very delicious
Sharon
Thanks Alexandra! It IS delicious. 🙂

Is salt necessary
Sharon
Totally up to you! I like a bit of saltiness with anything that has nuts but it can be optional. 🙂
Sophie
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?
Sharon
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!
Heather
Outstanding recipe! I used kosher salt so it didn’t dissolve all the way and gave a little texture which I enjoyed! I will make this over and over again. Thank you for posting!
Sharon
Thank you Heather!! I love this one too. 🙂 And, I love the idea of a little salty crunch added in.
