Do you ever have that feeling where life is just too hectic and there just isn’t enough time to make a wholesome homemade treat to enjoy? No bake chocolate peanut butter fudge is the perfect answer to that dilemma.This week we moved from Kentucky to Texas and it was just today that I started to make some serious progress with getting some semblance of organization in the kitchen. Needless to say, I’ve been a busy lady. Well, my point in telling you this is that this fudge is that easy to make, for times when life is crazy busy. It takes just a couple minutes to mix together and then stick into the freezer.
It is so delicious that you’ll be shocked to find that each cup only has about 3 grams of sugar! With the added coconut oil (chock full of healthy stuff!) and such a minimal amount of sugar it makes for a treat that is sure to be a hit at any meal. These would be just perfect to pack in the lunchbox for a nutritious treat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup nut butter of your choice (I used peanut butter)
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup carob powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract (easy DIY extract)
- Sea salt to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- If it is above 76 degrees your coconut oil will already be liquid, otherwise melt the coconut oil, mix all ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined and drop by tablespoonful into mini muffin liners. Chill in freezer an hour before serving. You can also line a bread pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture into the lined pan. You'll want to chill it for a few hours or until firm.
- Keep these cups cool in the fridge or freezer until ready to serve.
Original recipe from The Wimpy Vegetarian
Do you sprinkle the sea salt on top before freezing?
You can do it either way. I sprinkled it on after chilling so each person could choose whether they wanted a salty/sweet combo.
Wow these sound sooo good, and healthy!
I am so glad you have put sf recipes on the site.I am diabetic and will change the honey to fake sugar.Plus I am glad to hear you have moved to the best state around,we have been here for 30 plus years.
Thanks, Betty :)
Congrats on the move, can’t believe you made the move and already whipping something so ridiculously tempting!
Thanks :)
Is unsweetened chocolate powder the same as cocoa powder? These sound fantastic :)
Oops. It should say cocoa powder. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
What an awesome recipe!! Pinned it and can’t wait to try!
I make something very similar, but add cod liver oil. Only way I can get them to take it!
Do I measure out 1 cup of solid coconut oil or melt some coconut oil and then measure out 1 cup? Thank you! Can’t wait to try your recipe!
Yes, I measured out 1 cup of solid oil. Hope you enjoy them :)
Thanks for responding so quickly. These are so good! I didn’t have mini cupcake liners or parchment so I did regular cupcake size and got 12. So easy and yummy! Thanks! :D
Awesome :)
