Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge
Description
This fudge recipe involves melting dark chocolate chips until smooth, then combining them quickly with peanut butter to maintain a creamy texture. The mixture is spread evenly in a parchment-lined loaf pan and sprinkled with chopped roasted peanuts for texture contrast.
Refrigeration for 30 to 60 minutes allows the fudge to set until firm to the touch. It is then cut into small squares suitable for serving as a snack or dessert. The dark chocolate provides a rich base, while the peanut butter adds creaminess and subtle nutty sweetness, complemented by crunchy peanuts on top.
According to the notes, the fudge keeps well in a cool, dark place for up to 7 to 10 days, or longer if refrigerated or frozen, though it should be allowed to rest at room temperature before serving if stored cold.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup peanut butter or crunchy if you want texture, natural creamy
- 1 1/3 cups dark chocolate chips Lily's brand
- 1/4 cup peanuts chopped; roasted
Instructions
- Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper. I like to use on each side to keep the parchment in place.
- Place chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave using 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted and smooth. It will likely take 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). You can also use a double-boiler to melt your chocolate if desired.
- Quickly add peanut butter to the melted chocolate and stir until completely combined.
- Pour peanut butter chocolate mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top.
- Place in the fridge to set for about 30-60 minutes or until firm to the touch.
- Once chocolate has hardened, cut into small square pieces and serve.
- Store fudge in a dark, cool place. It should last about 7-10 days in a cool kitchen or even longer (about 3 weeks or so) in the fridge or freezer. If you keep the fudge in the fridge or freezer, be sure to bring it out and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before eating because the chocolate gets really hard when chilled.
