Ingredients
US Customary – Metric
- 1 cup peanut butter natural, creamy or crunchy will work
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil optional butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar optional (see below)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. The optional confectioners' sugar should be used if you plan to take out of the freezer for more than 5 minutes before eating. This will help to bind the fudge and prevent it from softening up too quickly. Pour mixture into a lightly oiled 5" x 7" pan. Cover and freeze until set, approximately 1 hour. Cut into 24 1-inch squares and store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
This fudge should be kept in the freezer until ready to eat, as it will soften up quickly. Enjoy a small piece of fudge as part of a clean eating lifestyle. Confectioners sugar is used only if you plan to take it out of the freezer for an extended period of time. Take one out of the freezer and enjoy!
