Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge

🌱 Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge 🥜

This Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge is creamy, no-bake, and cut into little squares that taste like peanut butter candy. No dairy. No condensed milk. Melt, stir, chill, slice. Keep it cold or it softens on the counter.

I love how few ingredients this takes. Use a peanut butter you actually like — the fudge tastes exactly like the jar. 💚

The Secret to Fudge That Slices Clean

Line the pan so you can lift the whole slab out. Chill at least 2 hours. Use a warm knife and wipe it between cuts. If the mix looks oily, keep stirring — it comes back together as it cools.

As a 79-year old, I found it very easy to make. I just added a few lightly-roasted seeds (sesame, crushed pumpkin, linseed, sunflower) and lightly-roasted pecan nuts. Ooomph!

Hi Ashley, thank you for sharing—I'm glad you found it easy and enjoyed adding those roasted seeds and pecans for extra texture and flavour. It sounds like a lovely twist!
