With a prep time of just 15 minutes, it’s so easy to make, and the result is wonderfully creamy, rich, and decadent. This fudge is such a treat! It’s made with just 5 ingredients, takes 15 minutes to make, and then you need to let it set for 4 hours, which is the hardest part. But once it’s ready, your patience is rewarded with a creamy, flavorful, and indulgent keto treat! If you love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, you are going to love this fudge.
Ingredients
Variations
You can use almond butter instead of peanut butter. Use different types of chocolate. I prefer Lindt 90%, but other brands that I like are Endangered Species 88% and Theo 85%. You can use different flavor extracts instead of vanilla. This will work better if you use almond butter, which has a more neutral flavor. You can use ½ teaspoon of almond extract or coconut extract.

Recipe Card
Dark chocolate: The darker you can go and still enjoy it, the better. I typically use Lindt 90% cacao. Sweetener: I use stevia glycerite. If you prefer a granulated sweetener, it’s best to use a powdered version to ensure a smooth texture. Unsalted butter: I love using creamy European butter, but any butter will be great. Peanut butter: I use natural creamy peanut butter. The only ingredients are peanuts and salt. If your peanut butter doesn’t contain salt, you can add a pinch of salt to the mixture. Vanilla extract: Try to use the real thing - pure vanilla extract - and not the artificially flavored stuff.
You start by gently melting together dark chocolate, a sweetener, unsalted butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract in a saucepan.
Remove the mixture from the heat and use a rubber spatula to transfer it to a square (or a small rectangle) Pyrex dish.
Cover the pan and refrigerate it until the fudge is set, for about four hours. Cut into squares and serve.
recommend using a fresh jar when making this recipe. The peanut butter at the bottom of these jars is often quite dry, even if you stirred it thoroughly when you first opened the jar.
My favorite way of enjoying it in the winter is with hot coffee or mint tea. In the summer, I enjoy it with iced coffee or iced tea.
You can also freeze this fudge. Arrange the squares in a single layer in a freezer bag and freeze them for up to three months.
The fudge softens quickly out of the fridge, so it’s best to enjoy it straight out of the fridge.
