Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural and unsweetened)

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

1 cup pure maple syrup or agave syrup

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (optional, for added chocolatey goodness)

Chopped nuts or sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Dish: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Leave some overhang to make removing the fudge easier later.

    Melt the Coconut Oil: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil until fully liquid. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, creamy peanut butter, and pure maple syrup. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

        Incorporate the Cocoa: Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder to prevent lumps and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Mix until the batter is completely smooth and you can no longer see any dry ingredients.

          Add Chocolate Chips: If using, fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

            Transfer to Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.

              Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.

                Slice and Serve: Once set, use the overhanging parchment to lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut into small squares or rectangles as preferred. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or a pinch of sea salt on top before serving.

                  Store Leftovers: Keep any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
