4-Ingredient Maple Peanut Butter Fudge (naturally vegan, gluten-free)

Healthy 4-Ingredient Maple Peanut Butter Fudge (naturally vegan, gluten-free)




WARNING: IF YOU HAVE NO SELF CONTROL DO NOT MAKE THESE!!! 

Haha you have been warn! This fudge is out of this world amazing!! The combination of maple syrup and nut butter is amazing. 

I have made this both with almond butter and peanut butter. I honestly the love almond butter better. The maple syrup just goes better with the almond butter, I think. BUT I think you should make them both ways because you might like the PB ones better. 

My next goal is to make them with cashew butter. I think that with the almond butter will be divine!! 

Yield: 12 pieces of fudge

Ingredients

1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup salted natural peanut butter (the kind with just salt and peanuts)
1/4 cup coconut oil1
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts, coarsely chopped, optional – divided

Directions

Line a mini muffin pan with 12 waxed or silicone muffin liners. You can alternatively line a small container with parchment paper or waxed paper.

In a small saucepan, mix together the maple syrup, peanut butter and coconut oil over medium heat. If your peanut butter is unsalted, add a pinch of salt. At first it won't appear to come together well. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil and while continuing to stir constantly, boil for about 2 minutes. It should have thickened a bit. If you use a heavy bottom pan, you may need to boil it a little longer. Stir in the vanilla until well combined. Stir in 5 tablespoons chopped peanuts, if using.

Pour into the waxed or silicone liners, top with remaining 3 tablespoons chopped peanuts, if using, and place the pan in the freezer. If you don't have room in your freezer, refrigerate for a few hours until firm and then transfer the fudge pieces to a small container that does fit in your freezer.

Freeze for about 2-3 hours. The liners will be easy to remove once the fudge has thoroughly frozen.

This fudge does not travel well (unless you have a cooler!) It should be kept refrigerated or frozen.
