🍫 Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

This recipe came together on a whim. My son asked me to make peanut butter bars one evening, but I didn’t have all the ingredients on hand. Instead of scrapping the idea, I looked at what I did have: peanut butter, chocolate, and maple syrup. A few quick steps later, this creamy, rich Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge was born. It’s no-bake, ready in minutes, and the perfect way to satisfy those last-minute dessert cravings.

✨ Ingredients

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter (unsweetened, natural or no-stir both work)

• 1 ½ cups Enjoy Life dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 2–3 tbsp maple syrup (or agave)

• Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional, but highly recommended)

🥄 Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate – In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth (or use a double boiler).

2. Mix it up – Stir in the peanut butter and maple syrup until silky smooth.

3. Pour + set – Line a small square dish (8x8 or loaf pan) with parchment. Spread the fudge mixture evenly.

4. Top with salt – Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top.

5. Chill – Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, until firm.

6. Slice + enjoy – Lift out with the parchment, cut into squares, and serve.

🌿 Kelly’s Notes

• Swirl in an extra spoonful of peanut butter before chilling for a marbled look.

• Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.

• Perfect for school lunches, after-dinner treats, or holiday platters.
