Fudge Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 1/4 cups peanut butter (unsalted preferred)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cane sugar
- Pinch of salt, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Combine ingredients: Add coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, cane sugar, and a pinch of salt to a medium saucepan.
- Heat and whisk: Heat the saucepan over medium heat while whisking frequently until the coconut oil completely melts and the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
- Set the fudge: Pour the smooth mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Freeze to harden: Place the baking dish in the freezer for at least 2 hours to allow the fudge to set and harden completely.
- Cut and serve: Remove the fudge from the freezer, trim the edges if necessary, cut into bite-size pieces, sprinkle lightly with additional sea salt, and enjoy!
Notes
- Calories are estimated per piece.
- Using unsalted peanut butter, such as Trader Joe’s brand, works best to control saltiness.
- You can substitute coconut sugar for cane sugar and honey for maple syrup, though these swaps will slightly change the flavor profile.
