This 5 ingredient healthy chocolate peanut butter fudge is such a delicious dessert recipe! The flavors go so well together. (Gluten-free, vegan)
Chocolate and peanut butter were made for each other. I love just about anything that has these two flavors together.
Peanut butter is a great base for fudge because of its naturally creamy texture, and it’s the star of this recipe. I make two batches of peanut butter fudge with different proportions and add cocoa powder to one of them. Then I swirl the two flavors together and freeze to solidify the fudge.
This chocolate peanut butter fudge is such a satisfying healthy indulgence. Even though it’s rich, it’s hard to eat just one piece.
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Tips
I like to store this fudge in the refrigerator to keep it solid, but you can also freeze it for an even more solid texture. This lasts for several days in the refrigerator. You can cut it into a variety of sizes depending on your needs.
