✅ Why It’s Great for Blood Sugar

  • Peanut butter provides healthy fats and protein, helping to stabilize blood sugar
  • Coconut oil adds healthy fats and helps the fudge set without the need for refined sugars
  • Sweetened with stevia or monk fruit, making it a low-carb option
  • No refined sugars or artificial sweeteners

📝 Ingredients (Makes about 12–16 small pieces)

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened, no added sugar)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup stevia or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional, but enhances the flavor)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Melt the coconut oil: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil until fully liquefied.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, peanut butter, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until completely smooth and well-combined. If the mixture is too thick, you can warm it slightly or add a little more coconut oil.
  3. Pour into a pan: Line a small baking dish or a loaf pan (about 8×4 inches) with parchment paper. Pour the fudge mixture into the pan and spread it out evenly.
  4. Chill and set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2–3 hours, or until it’s firm and set. For quicker setting, you can freeze it for 30–45 minutes.
  5. Serve: Once the fudge has set, cut it into small squares or bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1–2 weeks.
