Ingredients
  

1 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, based on preference)

1 cup maple syrup or agave syrup

1 cup coconut oil, melted

1 cup cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup vegan chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch (or similar size) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil and peanut butter until smooth. This may take a minute or two.

      Add Sweetener & Flavorings: Stir in the maple syrup (or agave), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.

        Add Cocoa Powder: Gradually sift in the cacao powder, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Make sure there are no lumps.

          Incorporate Chocolate Chips: If using, fold in the vegan chocolate chips for an extra chocolaty flavor and texture.

            Pour and Spread: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to evenly spread it out. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

              Chill to Set: Place the fudge in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours until firmly set.

                Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares or rectangles. Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
