Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Fudge (Vegan & Gluten Free)
If you like peanut butter and chocolate.. these little fudgey bites are for you. Unsurprisingly, this is one of my most popular recipes. These are so quick and simple to make, requiring only a few basic ingredients. They're completely plant based, vegan, grain and gluten free.
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter
- 2/3 Cup Coconut Oil I use refined so it's odour/tasteless
- 1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Pinch Salt
Chocolate Layer
- 2.5 tbsp Cocoa / Cacao Powder
- 1/4 Cup Dark Vegan Chocolate Chips
- 1 tsp Maple Syrup
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Line a 8x8" square tin/baking dish with baking paper (coming up the edges so you’re able to pull out the fudge later)
- Heat the peanut butter layer ingredients in a saucepan over a medium heat, whisking constantly until a smooth mixture has formed
- Pour half of this mixture into the tin
- Add the chocolate layer ingredients to the remaining mixture in the pan and whisk over a medium heat until the all the chocolate layer ingredients have melted into the peanut butter mixture
- Gently pour this on top of peanut butter layer in the tin
- Drag the end of a soft knife through the mixture in a zig zag shape to create a marble effect (very fun)
- Place in the freezer for at least 1 hour until completely set
- Take out from the freezer and gently pull the baking paper up to remove the fudge
- Then, with a sharp knife slice the fudge into 1” pieces
- (You may need to wait for it to thaw for 5 minutes before cutting)
Notes
Serve chilled or straight from freezer as they will melt quickly at room temperature
