Chocolate Orange Fudge Bars
With a sweet crumble base and topping and a creamy chocolate orange centre, these Chocolate Orange Fudge Bars are the perfect festive no bake treat. I am completely addicted to these and they're something that everybody will love. They're great as a grab and go snack, packed into lunch boxes or enjoyed as a post dinner sweet treat. They're completely vegan, incredibly easy to make, and the best part is, no baking is involved!
Ingredients
No Bake Crumble Base and Topping
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup sweetener of choice I like using the Natvia Synbiotic Sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Fudge Filling
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or broken up bar
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2 tsp orange extract
Instructions
- Line a loaf tin with baking paper.
- Add the No Bake Base and Topping ingredients to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Press 3/4 of it into the bottom of the lined loaf tin. Place in the fridge or freezer while you make the fudge filling.
- To make the fudge filling, melt the chocolate by adding it to a small bowl and melting in the microwave in 30 second bursts, or by placing the bowl on top of a simmering pan of water (Bain Marie).
- Once melted, whisk in the almond butter and orange extract until smooth.
- Pour this mixture over the base, then sprinkle over the remaining crumble mixture. Place back in the freezer to set for an hour.
- Remove from the freezer, lift out the slab and slice into 8 squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy!
