This is an easy no-bake dessert recipe that's ready in minutes. The fudge is intensely chocolatey and just sweet enough, which makes these tasty little morsels extremely satisfying.
Chocolate and peanut butter go hand-in-hand and are both really good for you in moderation. Peanut butter is a great source of heart-healthy fats, plant-based protein and B complex vitamins, and chocolate is chockfull of antioxidants.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares
- 1 cup smooth, no-sugar-added peanut butter
- 4 tbsps powdered stevia
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Preparation
Break up the chocolate into pieces and melt it using a double boiler or the microwave.
Once the chocolate is melted, mix in the rest of the ingredients.
Pack or spread the chocolate mixture into a loaf pan. Cool to room temperature, or you can put it in the refrigerator. Cut into 36 pieces and serve.
Variations and Substitutions
If you opt for a higher-quality chocolate such as Ghirardelli over a less expensive variety such as Hershey's, try using less—6 ounces should be enough—to avoid having the fudge turning out too hard.
If you're not worried about adding a bit of sugar, swap the stevia for an equal amount of powdered sugar or natural sweeteners such as honey or agave syrup.
Cooking and Serving Tips
- You can melt the chocolate in a double boiler on the stove or in a bowl in the microwave. If using the microwave, heat in short time increments and stir in between to avoid overheating.
- To make a double boiler at home, place chocolate in a metal bowl and then place bowl with chocolate over a pot of boiling water. The bowl should be large enough so that it sits on top of the pot of boiling water but does not have contact with the boiling water. The hot steam gently heats up the bowl with chocolate, melting it without burning it.
