Ingredients
  

1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup powdered sugar (sifted for smoothness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Optional: chopped peanuts and vegan chocolate chips for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.

      Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar into the wet mixture. Add the sea salt. Stir well using a spatula or a whisk until there are no lumps and the mixture is fully combined.

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

          Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts and vegan chocolate chips over the top for extra texture and flavor. Gently press them into the fudge.

            Chill the Fudge: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm.

              Cut and Serve: Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles as desired.

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