Healthy Easy Fudge (vegan/gluten-free)

Smooth, rich, and ultra chocolatey 4-ingredient fudge. This gluten-free and vegan fudge is made from just 4 simple ingredients and is a healthier option for a festive fudge. 

Traditional fudge is filled with dairy and loaded with sugar. This simple 4-ingredient fudge is not only easy to whip up, but it is also a healthier version of the classic treat that still satisfies your sweet tooth. I like to make this easy fudge recipe with peanut butter to turn it into healthy peanut butter cup fudge. This is an easy last-minute recipe for a holiday get-together or party!

• Healthy easy fudge is made with only 4 simple ingredients
• Smooth, rich, and ultra-chocolatey
• Healthier than traditional fudge
• Vegan and gluten-free
• Remains solid at room temperature

• Chocolate chips: if you are looking to make this dairy-free look for chocolate labeled vegan or dairy-free
• Nut butter: I use peanut butter for peanut butter cup fudge but try almond or cashew butter for a richer chocolate flavor
• Monk fruit: a little sweetener for the fudge
• Coconut oil: just a little to keep the fudge smooth and creamy

• My favorite chocolate chips to use are Lily’s Sweets, Good Sam, 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 like to use peanut butter as my nut butter to turn it into a peanut butter cup-flavored fudge.
• Feel free to include any add-ins such as nuts or sprinkles to your fudge.
• Store in the fridge or freezer. Unlike most fudge, this treat stays solid at room temperature.

• No-Bake Vegan Fudge Brownies
