You will love Easy Chocolate Peppermint Fudge because:

- No-bake and takes less than 15 minutes to make
- Smooth, rich, and ultra-chocolatey
- Healthier than traditional fudge
- Vegan and gluten-free
- Remains solid at room temperature
Easy Chocolate Peppermint Fudge is made with:
- Chocolate chips: if you are looking to make this dairy-free look for chocolate labeled vegan or dairy-free
- Almond butter: I use almond butter to keep a rich chocolate flavor to this fudge
- Monk fruit: I used monk fruit to add a little extra sweetness but you can use your sweetener of choice
- Coconut oil: just a little to keep the fudge smooth and creamy
- Peppermint extract: adds the refreshing peppermint flavor to the fudge
- Candy Canes: crushed candy canes or peppermints on top of the fudge
Recipe Tips:
- My favorite chocolate chips are Lily’s Sweets, Good Sam, Hu Chocolate, or Enjoy Life as they are lower in sugar. Good Sam and Enjoy Life are also dairy-free.
- I use Lankanto or Whole Earth for the monk fruit sweetener.
- I have not tried another nut butter in place of almond butter, but cashew butter could work. I would avoid peanut butter as it would make it taste more like a peanut butter cup
- Store in the fridge or freezer to keep longer, however, unlike most fudge, this treat stays solid at room temperature.
